Karachi: PPP Karachi Division President Sindh Minister Saeed Ghani said that seats won by Jamaat-e-Islami in Karachi and Hyderabad Local Government polls were surprising, unlike performance of PPP but insisted that everyone must accept results.

If manipulating results was that easy, then I would have made my own brother win seat, he said during press conference in Karachi.

Ghani said that JI, which was nowhere to be seen in city during general elections in 2018, to abruptly win so many seats during Local Government elections was shocking

Commenting on objections raised by JI and demand for recount on 10 seats, PPP leader said that whoever has objections on election results can avail legally available methods to challenge it.

Adding that every party must accept each other’s mandate, as everyone keeps little doubt on results.

He added that in Landhi Town, results came with maximum delay, but still JI won there by majority.

So, JI must not remain in any doubt about rigging, he remarked.

He added that JI had been enraged on delay polling results from Korangi, but surprisingly they won all sets from there. Our candidates requested recount in several UCs and there exist options in law to get objections removed, said Saeed Ghani.
