In some cases where protesters have tried to march towards the Election Commission of Pakistan's provincial office in the Saddar area

The protests began one day after the provisional election results started being announced by the Election Commission

Since the provincial results started coming out the courts have been flooded with legal petitions and several candidates have challenged the provisional results in their constituencies in a bid to win the seat

According to the details, the PTI-backed independents have filed the highest number of petitions in the courts against the results

Heavy contingents of police used tear gas shells, water canons and even batons to charge and disperse the protesting crowds 

In an unusual move, a senior leader of Pakistan's Jamaat-i-Islami Party on Monday forfeited his seat in the Sindh province that he won in Thursday's elections

The leader said that it was not him but the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party-backed candidate who has won from the constituency he contested

Pakistan general elections were held on February 8. However, it is alleged that results were rigged in many constituencies leading to citizen protests
