The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Fazl) has accused Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf of poll rigging in Mardan, Kohat, Peshawar and FATA and demanded re-election in the areas.
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman warned of protests across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa if his demand was not accepted, reports The Dawn.
He said his party did not accept the PTI's victory in Mardan, Kohat, Peshawar and FATA obtained through massive rigging.
He alleged that results had been changed in the areas and asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of irregularities and order re-election.
Fazlur Rehman said the ECP's failure to stop rigging had made the entire exercise controversial.
Responding to the allegations, Asad Qaisar, president of the provincial chapter of PTI, has urged the JUI-F to respect the people's mandate and sit in the opposition, instead of raising a hue and cry.
