LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz Sharif, daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took a hit at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and tweeted Monday evening that some people simply do not have the courage and grace to concede defeat.
In a message on Twitter, she said:
In another message Maryam claimed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lost the provincial seat (PP-147) because the party candidate had failed to deliver.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan earlier today had said that his party was investigating "the number of PTI votes thrown out of NA-122 at the last minute."
"We are investigating the number of PTI votes thrown out of NA122 at the last minute & will then approach the ECP," said the PTI chairman in a message posted on Twitter.
Former National Assembly Speaker and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Ayaz Sadiq regained the NA-122 seat by a thin margin, bagging 74,525 votes against 72,082 votes received by PTI candidate Aleem Khan.
Although the PTI accepted the by-poll results, it blamed the ruling PML-N of pre-poll rigging by using state machinery for their campaign, and complained that several voters' names who had been previously registered in NA-122 had now been moved to other constituencies.
