Voters should be provided with explanations for the major anomalies in this election, and the ECP should act quickly to allay their worries. It is obvious that there was a problem with the results tabulation procedure in these constituencies, and it needs to be looked into and fixed right away. Several PTI-backed independents in Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Islamabad are among them; some of them witnessed easy wins turn into overnight losses. Withholding the results of the Daska by-election in February 2021 was the first severe and moral measure taken by the current CEC. Now, similar action is required, particularly in those areas where the losing candidates have substantial evidence to support their claims.
