Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) candidate Chaudhry Nisar Ali khan Thursday lost provincial assembly seat to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) candidate Muhammad Siddique Khan in votes recounting.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had ordered recounting after PTI had demanded recounting.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan won a seat in the National Assembly from the NA-52 Rawalpindi 3 constituency.
The recount was done thrice after an appeal from PTI.
Nisar had earlier been declared as a winner with a 311 vote lead on the Punjab’s provincial assembly seat from Taxilla’s PP-7.
PTI chief Imran Khan on Wednesday presented his demands before the ECP and asked that they accept them within three days.
Khan said that they were demanding a recount in four constituencies, but the election commission should verify the votes with fingerprints.
The party had reservations over the results of 25 National Assembly seats.
Meanwhile the Election Commission has ordered re-polling in 4 polling stations of NA-41 Tribal Area-VI and 2 polling station of NA-269 Khuzdar on Tuesday next.
Re-polling on 21 polling station of NA-46 Tribal Area-XI will be held on may 25.
According to Election Commission‚ re-polling would also be held on 4 polling station of PK-71 Bannu-II and 3 polling stations of PK-72 Bannu-III of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 21st of this month.
The re-polling has been ordered after detail consultation on the complaints.

If you lose an election not once but again and again, please leave and do something useful with your life! Don’t stick to politics like a gum to the bottom of the shoe on a hot day. Have some self respect, please.
Why on earth does Pakistan let these people run from different parts of the country? When elected, what part of the country do they represent? Which people do they represent? Whose’s interests do they look after? Running from 17 different posts is a nonsense and should be stopped. A candidate should be allowed to run from the area he / she lives in so people can come and talk to them and present their problems. No accountability in the current system.
