In a written message read out by PTI leader Ejaz Chaudhry at a press conference here, Imran Khan said PTI believes in democracy and that his party wants to move forward for the sake of Pakistan.
In a video message, Khan said: “Pakistan is facing many challenges, including terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I have spoken to General Kayani in this regards,” he said.
But Khan said that rigging issue still needed to be resolved to satisfy protesters, who had taken to streets.
He demanded recounting in four constituencies along with fingerprint verification, adding recounting sans finger prints verification will be a useless exercise.
NADRA has all the sources to verify the voters’ lists, he said. “Rigging has been reported from 25 constituencies,” Imran added.
He said it was the duty of Election Commission to listen to the complaints of the people, adding otherwise people would lose faith in the democratic process.
“We demand that ECP investigate rigging allegations in 25 constituencies.
“We will move an application to the ECP, seeking vote re-count in four seats along with finger prints verification.”
“It is responsibility of the commission to ensure free and fair elections.
“We have decided to move ahead to solve the problems faced by the country despite having differences, he said.
Imran said PTI would form government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa with the help of like-minded parties. “We will make PK a model for other provinces,” he said.
The PTI chairman said that his party would play the role of a genuine opposition in the National Assembly.
