The PTI has alleged that the recently uploaded Forms 45 issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan are “rigged” as well.

In a post on X, the PTI shared a picture of what it said was the “original” Form 45 from polling station no.19 Decent Public School of NA-128, where Salman Akram Raja contested.

It highlighted that its version of the form had 173 votes for rival Awn Chaudhry while the copy uploaded by the ECP for the same form had the figure overwritten to “973”.
