Pakistan's Election Commission launches a swift investigation after Rawalpindi commissioner, Liaquat Ali Chattha, resigns, admitting to manipulating poll results and citing pressure from senior officials. The committee, formed by the Election Commission, will gather statements from district polling officials within three days. Chattha's explosive accusations of election interference come amid protests by Imran Khan's PTI party, alleging rigging in the February 8 elections. The ECP denies the claims, while Chattha urges punishment for those involved. The controversy raises concerns about trust in the electoral system, further exacerbated by a nationwide disruption in the social media platform X's service.
