ECP chief announces first election result
ISLAMABAD: Chief Election Commissioner Sardar Raza Khan, addressing a late-night press conference, said delay in election result announcement was caused by a technical issue in the ECP system.
He expressed displeasure that a lot of hue and cry erupted on just a “two hours” in poll results.
Making an announcement of the first result of PP-11 Rawalpindi-6, he said Chaudhary Muhammad Adnan of PTI bagged 43086 votes, while Raja Arshad of PML-N secured second position with 24,000 votes.
The election commission chief, while announcing, called it ‘unofficial result’ received to the ECP.
