Earlier, Bilawal took to Twitter to express concerns about the malpractices.
"It's now past midnight & I haven't received official results from any constituency I am contesting my myself. My candidates complaining polling agents have been thrown out of polling stations across the country. Inexcusable & outrageous," he wrote on the micro-blogging site.
