SUKKUR: The Election Tribunal, Sukkur, on Monday ordered recounting votes of NA-196, Jacobabad, on Aijaz Khan Jakhrani’s petition. The PPP candidate, Sardar Aijaz Khan Jakhrani, had filed a petition in the Election Tribunal Court Sukkur, requesting to recount the votes of NA-196 Jacobabad, in which he had alleged that the PTI candidate Muhammad Mian Soomro had won the 2018 general elections through rigging and use of unfair means. The court upheld his petition for recount within 30 days, directing the ECP to depute a returning officer for the case.
