“illegal activities” of the PPP leaders .
They accused the PPP of violating the ECP code of conduct, claiming that ghost employees or even who without a job were being appointed as district returning officers and assistant returning officers.
The election authorities in the district were under pressure to accept the nomination forms of the ruling party’s favourite candidates without following rules, “which is a glaring example of pre-poll rigging”, said Shirazi.
He asked the authorities to ensure free and transparent LG elections or they too would be rigged like the 2013 general elections and “corruption and Jiyala culture will then rule”.
He alleged that the PPP was using the entire state machinery for pre-poll rigging with a view to getting the maximum possible number of its candidates elected unopposed. “If elections are held in a transparent and fair manner, we are confident that we will be the winning candidates.”
Lutfullah said ROs were complying with orders of deputy commissioners, who had got them appointed. He also complained that 1,005 of polling stations had been changed on orders from the PPP.
The allegations came a day after another opposition party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, alleged that is candidates were being whisked away by law enforcement agencies and kept at undisclosed locations.
