Fafen refutes PTI leader’s claim

ISLAMABAD: The Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) Thursday said that the network has never called for the resignation of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as claimed by a leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Shoaib Shaheen and as reported by a section of the press.

The Fafen has asked the political leader not to drag independent civil society groups into their politicking and do their homework before making public statements. The Fafen in fact believes that the existing ECP should lead any audit of legally-challenged constituencies using data analytics and forensics. Such an audit must also involve the representatives of political parties and candidates concerned along with independent observers.
