PTI leader Zain Qureshi has claimed that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) tampered with the Forms-45 that were public on the watchdog’s website today.

Speaking on a Dawn News programme, the newly elected MNA said he and Barrister Salman Akram Raja have identified at least 40 polling stations in the latter’s constituency where Forms-45 were altered with a “stroke of a pen”.

“In the case of NA-151, all three Forms-45 are saying the same thing but the winning PPP candidate’s Form-45 tells a different story,” Zain alleged.
