PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shaukat Yousafzai on Monday said that the people voted for his party against all odds.

Talking to reporters on the premises of the Peshawar High Court, he said that certain candidates were targeted and they were made to lose the election. He said that he had challenged in the PHC the result of the provincial assembly constituency PK-28, where he claimed that he was leading in the Form-45.

Shaukat Yousafzai, who was a minister during the PTI government in the province, alleged that the election results were changed overnight to make him lose the election. He said that the PTI faced discrimination during the election.

The former provincial minister said that the results should be scrutinized carefully to make sure who was the winner. Shaukat Yousafzai said that there was no grouping in the PTI over the chief minister’s office.

He said that no name had been finalized yet for the office of the chief minister, adding that party leader Ali Amin Gandapur had been given the task to evolve a consensus on this issue. Shuakat Yousafzai said that no decision had been made yet about the possible alliance with any political party. He said that the PTI expected relief from the courts.
