While a race between the PTI and PML-N to win over independents continues, if Imran Khan is declared the victor, he should be allowed to complete his five year tenure. The opposition parties have a right to seek the forensic examination of the boxes in the disputed constituencies and approach the ECP and the courts to get their reservations concerning the alleged rigging removed. We opposed it in these columns when Imran Khan resorted to it within a year of Elections 2013. Imran Khan has an ambitious agenda for the revival of the economy, elimination of poverty, providing millions of jobs and houses. Once the new administration assumes office, a vigilant opposition needs to watch its performance carefully taking it to task for its shortcomings without derailing the system.
