When asked about whether the PTI would form the federal government, he said that his party’s priority was to challenge the results of the polls in the apex court. He added that he had never witnessed such a rigged election and urged all political parties, calling out rigging, to form a joint front.

He further claimed that he knew his party had won the election when the announcement of results was delayed on the night of the election, source reported.
Khan also claimed that the PML-N supremo and his daughter, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, both lost the election, while PTI’s candidate Aliya Hamza secured more than 100,000 votes while contesting elections from jail.
