Saeed Ghani had secured 23,840 votes against MQM-P candidate Kamran Tessori's 18,106 votes.
Earlier in the day, the ECP had rejected plea of MQM-Pakistan for vote recount case against Pakistan Peoples Party's winning candidate Senator Saeed Ghani in PS-114, Karachi.
MQM-P candidate Kamran Tessori had pleaded the ECP to order the returning officer to conduct a recount of votes for the recently-held elections in PS-114.
