LAHORE: The PTI released a list of more than 40 polling stations across various National Assembly constituencies, alleging that the preliminary Form 45 results were manipulated there — causing the reversal of victories for the party-backed candidates.
On social media platforms, the party shared a report titled ‘Whitepaper on Rigging’ which contained scanned copies of the “original” Form 45s alongside the allegedly tampered or forged versions. “A thread highlighting the forgery committed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP),” the PTI wrote in the first of a series of posts on micro-blogging platform X.
“Let the world know that the biased and highly controversial Election Commission of Pakistan uploaded fabricated Forms 45 on its website, almost a month after General Elections 2024.” A Form-45 contains crucial data from a polling station. The PTI claimed that their nominated candidates possessed the original and signed Form 45s received on the polling day. It condemned the “blatant and outrageous tampering, editing, and forgery” evident in the Form 45s issued by the ECP.
