He claimed that polling staffers were coerced in today\u2019s by-polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PTI leader further said that the Punjab voters voted for his party, but \u201csomeone else is making election results\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he termed the election results of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), where the Imran-founded party formed its government, legitimate and asked political parties to lodge legal complaints if they found any irregularity in the previous polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During today\u2019s by-polls on 21 national and provincial assembly seats, the polling process was marred by violent clashes between workers of different political parties in different areas of Punjab amid suspended cellular and internet services to maintain law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) ordered action after taking notice of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) worker\u2019s killing in a violent clash during the by-elections in Punjab\u2019s Narowal and complaints regarding alleged abduction of polling staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad(National Times) Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah said on Sunday that the voter turnout of today\u2019s by-elections is a &#8220;big message&#8221;
