ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal and other political parties, aligned against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, are staging a protest outside Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office in Islamabad today.

The protest is being attended by leadership of all the allied parties, and will be headed by PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif who is set to join the protest shortly.

Members of anti-PTI alliance began gathering outside the ECP office after noon, where they are protesting against rigging of recently-held General Election 2018.

PPP leader Sherry Rehman, speaking to reporters on the occasion, said it was necessary to remain peaceful and demanded resignation from the ECP officials.

“We will go to the Parliament and unite political parties,” she vowed.

PML-N’s Raja Zafarul Haq claimed the election results did not reflect the voters’ choice.

“We want to tell the world that the public rejects [these] elections. We are united on this matter,” he said, adding that the ECP was not allowed to fulfill its duty.
