PTI alleges ‘180-degree turns’ in Form-45s

The PTI leadership alleged on Wednesday that the Form-45s published by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on its website were heavily tampered, with the results being changed in favour of PTI’s rivals and voter turnout crossing 100 per cent at several polling stations.

Addressing a press conference, PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan said that after the elections, one tried to forget the past and move forward, but if the elections were rigged on such a large scale, it became next to impossible to move forward.

Flanked by PTI senior leaders Taimur Khan Jhagra and Salman Akram Raja, Mr Gohar said the party would show vote rigging evidence of the constituencies, where PTI-backed candidates were defeated with overnight changes in the results, by comparing Form-45 of the ECP with the original one available with all candidates.

He said the poll fraud evidence had become clearer after the commission published Form-45s on its website.

The PTI chairman reiterated that his party was triumphant on 180 National Assembly seats in the general elections under “original” Forms-45. “Our mandate was stolen through results tampering, which is unprecedented in the political history of the country,” he insisted.
