Following the enraged mob’s February 8 theft and burning of the voting papers, re-elections were held on Thursday at the 53 polling places in Khushab, Kohat, and Ghotki.
Re-polling went on uninterrupted till 5:00 p.m.
Re-elections were ordered by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) last week at a few polling places belonging to two provincial assembly constituencies and one National Assembly (NA).
The results of NA-88, Khushab, PK-90 Kohat, and PS-18, Ghotki, were not released by the ECP because of allegations that ballots were either stolen or destroyed by ECP personnel in many polling places.
