Will announce all results tonight, says ECP member Nisar Durrani

Election Commission of Pakistan will announce all the results today, said body's member Nisar Durrani on Thursday.

Counting of votes is underway after the expiry of polling time at five in the evening.

Polling for the General Election of National Assembly and four Provincial Assemblies was held across the country today.

Earlier, the ECP denied to extend the time for polling.

Durrani said the voter turnout remained good during the polling. 

It is crucial to highlight that mobile phone services have been suspended nationwide. Consequently, voters are encountering challenges in obtaining information about their designated polling stations through the SMS service at 8300.

More than 1.4 million polling staff are performing their duties at 90,675 polling stations — of which 16,766 have been declared as extremely sensitive. To ensure voter turnout, February 8 was declared as a public holiday.
