Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz has said the Election Commission is an independent institution and is performing its duties without any political interference.

Talking to a private news channel, he said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has struggled for holding elections in a free, fair and transparent manner.

He said all the by-elections held recently were free of any influence as per the PTI's manifesto and the government is also making efforts to hold the forthcoming Senate elections through open balloting.

He said the ECP should announce the result of by-polls in NA-75 Daska.

Shibli Faraz said the present government is going to introduce electronic voting system in the country to  ensure transparency.
