Political parties demonstrations across Balochistan against election rigging continued
QUETTA, Feb 18: The outcry against alleged election rigging in Balochistan continues as political parties persist in their protests and sit-ins across the province. What began as a sit-in outside the District Returning Officer (DRO) office by the PK MAP, National Party, BNP, and Hazara Democratic Party in Quetta has now transformed into a full-fledged protest rally. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Abdul Malik of the National Party voiced concerns over the marginalization of nationalist parties in Balochistan.
In Chaman, the ANP staged a ten-day dharna outside the Deputy Commissioner's (DC) office and JUIF's district complex, while in PB50 Qila Abdullah. Meanwhile, the People's Party's protest against the results of Naseerabad PB 14 enters its 11th day, and the Jamhoori Watan Party establishes a protest camp at Rabi Canal in Jafarabad.
The Tehreek-e-Insaf's protest in NA-40 North Waziristan, ongoing for nine days, has disrupted traffic flow on highways, leaving numerous goods vehicles stranded. Across these protests, demonstrators consistently demand the release of election results based on Form 45, emphasizing transparency in the electoral process. The persistence of these protests highlights the deep-seated discontent and calls for accountability within the electoral system in Balochistan.
