KARACHI (Dunya News) - MQM-P leader Waseem Akhtar on Sunday demanded the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to look into its performance after anomalies emerged in the election process.
While addressing a press conference in Karachi, Waseem Akhtar said that fair and free elections are not possible in the current atmosphere and said that at some polling stations, there are no ballot papers while voters have also stayed away from the process after violent incidents.
