‘Winner turned into loser’

CHITRAL: The result of the election for president of Chitral chapter of Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) was allegedly changed to hand over the post to the losing candidate.

This was claimed by Zaheer Baber, a supporter of Kamal Abdul Jamil, one of the contenders for the president’s slot.

He told Dawn that the Electoral College consisted of the presidents of football clubs registered with PFF, and there were 13 registered clubs in Chitral having the right of vote.

He said presidents of the clubs participated in the voting process through WhatsApp, claiming that seven had voted in favour of Mr Jamil, but the results were altered.

He said to their utter surprise and dismay, a notification was issued declaring Ejaz Ahmed the winner with seven votes.

He said Mr Jamil had filed an appeal against the results, and requested for vote recount.
