ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is gearing up to start proceedings against a former official of the commission under the efficiency and disciplinary rules, according to authorities.

Muhammad Afzal Khan, a former additional secretary of the ECP, alleged that the 2013 general elections had been rigged – an accusation the commission has denied.

According to Mr Khan, the elections had been rigged by the former chief election commissioner and a few ECP members, including retired Justice Riaz Kayani.

In a statement on Thursday, Mr Kayani said the ECP would take disciplinary action against the former additional secretary.
