“We have no quarrel with anyone, we want to move forward. We will proceed and form a government in accordance with the constitution and the law,” Gohar Khan said addressing the media in Islamabad. He said the people freely exercised their right to vote. The presiding officers counted the votes and prepared Form 45, he added. The PTI chief said the results should be made according to Form 45 as they had received all those forms.
He said the economy would not be able to tolerate the suppression of peoples’ voice and forming a desired government. “No obstacle should be created for the PTI and results should be announced as soon as possible. As per the law, the final result is extracted from Form 45 and we have received all the results,” he said adding that the final results should be announced before 12:00am tonight.
Gohar said their independent candidates were in contact with them. They were loyal to the party and would remain so, he said adding that they would make their independent government. He said the PTI would go towards intra-party elections within 15 days after completion of the process.
