Islamabad: Shocked at his party’s loss in the recent Senate elections Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday told the federal cabinet that he wanted regular updates on the mechanisms that are being developed to ensure that overseas Pakistanis are able to vote in the elections in Pakistan, also ensuring that the election commission promotes the use of electronic voting machines (EVM).
Khan made the comments during the beginning of a session of the federal cabinet, adding that he wanted to avoid any excuses of “we’re not prepared for this technology” when the time came to use EVMs, Dawn reported.
He stated that he wanted elections in Pakistan to be along the lines of the elections in the US and cited the example of former US President Donald Trump who could not find any evidence of rigging “despite all his efforts”.
