On Tuesday, senators from the opposition denounced the purported election tampering and chastised Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja for his perceived “inability” to maintain electoral integrity. On February 8, Senator Mushtaq Ahmed of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) urged that CEC Raja resign from his office due to the lack of transparent polls. In an address to the Senate today in Islamabad, the JI senator said that the elections were rigged and that they would establish a rigged administration. The senator made grave accusations against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), claiming that it committed treason and ought to apologise to the country. Article 6 of the constitution should be used to pursue legal action against the CEC.
