Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman of the Jamaat-e-Islami party had been named the victor of the provincial assembly seat PS-129 in the city of Karachi.
But this week he claimed the candidate backed by Imran Khan's PTI party had secured far more votes and that their tally had been reduced.
As such he would relinquish the seat.
"If anyone wants to make us win in an illegitimate manner, we will not be accepting that," Mr Rehman said at a press conference held by his party on Monday.
He added: "Public opinion should be respected, let the winner win, let the loser lose, no one should get anything extra."
He said that while he had received more than 26,000 votes, the independent candidate Saif Bari, backed by the PTI, had received 31,000 votes - but these were presented as 11,000 votes.
Pakistani electoral authorities have denied the allegations. It is unclear who will take up the PS-129 seat now.

#It kinda sucks seeing people use the context of a single headline to say how much *honesty* and *integrity*#a political party that would actively seek out and execute me (and everyone like me) has.#One moment of honesty from one single member doesn't stop them from being far-right religious reactionaries with a literal body count.#and no I'm not a bot#I dont support PLMN or the military. I believe the PPP was once our best hope for socialism but rn theyre a nepotistic mess#(and ofc the best bhuttos stay tf out of politics)#and Imran Khan won the election. He's a populist whose morals depend on his audience but he won#and the USA should get out of Pakistan#and ofc I need to state my entire fucking political philosophy to establish myself as 'worthy' to tell you to fucking google something.#I have to go to all this effort because people cant use the basic fucking context of. maybe. in a place like pakistan.#there might be politcal parties frothing at the bit to rip away the rights that people have fought for
