Investigation
In a press conference on Wednesday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership made serious allegations against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), claiming that the Form-45s published on the ECP’s website had undergone extensive tampering.
According to PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan, the results were allegedly altered in favor of PTI’s rivals, and instances of voter turnout exceeding 100% were reported at several polling stations.
Expressing deep concern, Gohar Ali Khan emphasized the challenge of moving forward if the elections were indeed rigged on such a massive scale.
He stressed the importance of addressing the issue to maintain the integrity of the electoral process and uphold the principles of democracy.
Accompanied by PTI senior leaders Taimur Khan Jhagra and Salman Akram Raja, Gohar Ali Khan announced the party’s intent to present evidence of vote rigging.
The evidence would focus on constituencies where PTI-backed candidates reportedly experienced overnight changes in results. The comparison would be made between the Form-45 published by the ECP and the original forms available to all candidates.
The PTI chairman argued that the alleged poll fraud became more evident after the ECP released Form-45s on its official website. He reiterated the party’s claim that, based on the “original” Forms-45, PTI had secured victory on 180 National Assembly seats during the general elections.
Gohar Ali Khan asserted that the mandate was allegedly stolen through tampering, marking an unprecedented incident in the political history of Pakistan.
As the PTI leadership raises serious concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, these allegations could have far-reaching implications on the political landscape, potentially prompting investigations and legal actions to address the reported irregularities.
