The Election Commissioner of Pakistan and Secretary Election Commission should immediately take notice of the massive rigging plan of the ruling party in the local bodies elections that will be implemented through Deputy Commissioners and officers of the Punjab government who are appointed as District Returning Officers and Presiding officers, said Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo in a statement issued on Monday.
Unofficial results will not be seeing the light of day as the Punjab Election Commission (EC) will be ensuring that the code of conduct is followed properly.

Until the returning officers announce the final results, no one will know who won and who lost.
