\nPakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Central Secretary General Muhammad Humayun Khan has expressed serious concern over alleged irregularities in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections, saying the accusations of rigging have raised serious questions over the transparency of the democratic process.
\nIn a statement issued here Humayun Khan said the PPP would not accept what he termed an attack on the public mandate and would pursue the matter on all constitutional and legal forums.
\nHe said the alleged electoral irregularities reported in the Mirpur Division had raised several serious questions, demanding that the Election Commission provide answers and conduct a transparent inquiry.
\nThe PPP leader called for withholding results in constituencies where concrete evidence of irregularities existed and demanded an immediate, impartial investigation.
\nHe said the party had always struggled for the sanctity of votes, democracy, and supremacy of the Constitution, adding that protecting the people\u2019s mandate remained its foremost responsibility.
\n\u201cThe results should reflect the choice of voters, and no one should be allowed to alter the public mandate,\u201d he said. Humayun Khan said ignoring concerns over the AJK electoral process by arguing that \u201cit is too late now\u201d would be against democratic values.
\nHe added that the PPP was not a party that would leave the field and would use every constitutional and legal avenue to safeguard the people\u2019s vote.
\nHe further demanded recounting at polling stations in Mirpur Division where evidence of unusual results and irregularities had emerged.
\n\u201cDemocracy is not just about holding elections; it is about respecting voters\u2019 choices, ensuring transparent results, and protecting the public mandate,\u201d he said.
\nHumayun Khan stressed that safeguarding the right to vote of the people of Azad Kashmir was the responsibility of all political parties and institutions, adding that transparent elections were essential to restoring public confidence in democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
