A former senator of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Farhatullah Babar, has claimed that upcoming elections have already been rigged and manipulated and what now remains is the formality of holding of polling on July 25.
The PPP leader was speaking at the launching of a poll guide titled, ‘Election Guide, All You Need to Know for Pakistan’s 2018 General Elections’.
The event was organised by an NGO, Democracy Reporting International (DRI), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, at a local hotel.
Mr Babar said that the poll day manipulation of bygone days had become far more difficult because of changes in the law, but these changes had quietly given way to pre-poll and post-poll rigging and manipulation.
