This information is not conclusive evidence of malpractice but is strongly indicative of possible
irregular activities which warrants follow-up by the electoral authorities. The ECPs lack of follow-up
on such instances, whether or not a complaint has been lodged, resulted in some frustration and
mistrust amongst contestants and stakeholders. This lack of follow-up can also contribute to a
permissive culture for electoral malpractice and attempts at manipulation. Thus it appeared that while
there was acceptance of the results in most areas, there were strong signs that there had been pockets
of malpractice which were not adequately addressed by the election administration prior to or since
the publication of the official results.
This is how MQM got 90% votes in election.
90% = 25 lakh votes.which is 7-8% of total nation votes only
According to EU report overall turnout was 44.57% of registered voters in this election.Tht means more than half of karachi didnt bother to vote so stop claiming mqm has support.
Isnt mqm in sindh govt!!!
This isnt the first tym he was stopped.
HE was stopped twice when mqm was in power before elections 08
