Bilawal went on to say that the 2018 elections were rigged all over the country which is still going and attempts have been made to elect a representatives, adding that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should play a role where election elections were rigged and the Commission should ensure transparency in the elections across the country like Daska.
