Meanwhile, Chief Election Commissioner Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mughal also described the polls free, fair and transparent.
"The voters list is transparent and votes are being cast after confirmation of the voters through CNIC." He said all necessary arrangements were made to ensure transparency. "If nobody will be allowed to cast bogus votes then how anybody can claim of rigging the elections." Later talking to ptv, he appreciated the role of civil administration and Army jawans to maintain peace and ensure transparency.
"I also visited polling stations along with the Chief Secretary and Inspector General of Police and nobody complained of any malpractice." He said at couple of places the polling had started behind the schedule but the election staff was advised to facilitate voters accordingly. "The day went well and polling was peaceful.
Transparency ensured by the Election Commission has negated the claims of any possible rigging," he added.
