In this way, let us laud the Political race Commission of Pakistan (ECP), our police and our military for effectively overseeing such a huge electing process. The Political race Commission of Pakistan (ECP) laid out 90,582 surveying stations. Regardless of reports of asserted 'abnormalities' from around 500 of these stations, let us praise the ECP for actually dealing with by far most of the surveying stations — about 90,000 — as per laid out guidelines

The reality stays that Pakistan directed a fantastic political decision.

Showing excellent effectiveness, with more than the vast majority of surveying stations working without significant interruptions, 98% of returning officials satisfying guidelines, and a couple of competitor objections, Pakistan has laid out a worldwide benchmark for huge scope popularity based processes. Allow us to praise this achievement and recognize the admirable execution by the ECP, reinforced by the security umbrella given by our police and our military.
