Various political parties and journalists have alleged the elections to be rigged in favour of Imran Khan.
Earlier, Bilawal took to Twitter to express concerns about the malpractices.
"It's now past midnight & I haven't received official results from any constituency I am contesting my myself. My candidates complaining polling agents have been thrown out of polling stations across the country. Inexcusable & outrageous," he wrote on the micro-blogging site.
Pakistan went to polls on Wednesday and the counting of votes began soon thereafter in the evening.
