Islamabad [Pakistan], March 9 (ANI): Imran Khan's party leader Omar Ayub has voiced strong opposition to Asif Ali Zardari's election as president, urging that it be declared null and void, ARY News reported on Saturday.
"We reject the so-called presidential election," PTI leader said.
"Asif Ali Zardari has been an aged and ailing person, a mentally fit person should be elected for this office," Omar Ayub said.
Ayub further demanded the immediate release of PTI's founder and Bushra Bibi from jail, as per ARY News.
"Our assembly seats were snatched in a daylight robbery," he added.
According To ARY News, "Issuing pro-state or anti-state certificates is not in the hand of the Speaker or any other person. The authority of issuing this certificate is mandated by people," PTI leader stated while slating a statement of Ayaz Sadiq, the Speaker of the National Assembly.
Ayub went on to accuse that Form 47 of the election results has been tampered with. "We challenge them to conduct elections in these constituencies again. It will separate truth from falsehood," asserted Ayub.
Recently, On Saturday Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has declared the PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari winner with 411 votes in the presidential election, while his opponent PkMAP Chairman Mehmood Khan Achakzai got only 181 votes, Dawn reported.

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
