Glaring Discrepancies Between Original and Released Forms 45
On March 5th, 2024, the ECP finally released the long-awaited Forms 45. However, what should have been a moment of transparency and accountability has instead deepened concerns, as these forms reveal glaring inconsistencies and signs of tampering. These tampered Forms 45 suggest that the number of votes allocated to candidates has been significantly altered, casting serious doubts on the accuracy and integrity of the electoral results.
Concerning disparities have surfaced between the original Forms 45 provided to candidates right after the elections on 8th February 2024 and the subsequent Forms 45 published by the ECP, 27 days after the elections on 5th March 2024. These disparities are particularly pronounced in various constituencies where candidates affiliated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were initially leading based on the original Forms 45. Such inconsistencies bring into question the transparency and impartiality of the electoral procedure.
Following are examples of forgery found in some Forms 45, a pattern that can be seen in the forms released by ECP for all polling stations where PTI was initially leading, underscoring the extensive post-poll manipulation of results on a national scale.
