Fact check: PTI’s Meher Bano Qureshi did not win NA-151 after vote recount

The iVerify Pakistan team sought to determine the veracity of the claim that PTI-backed candidate Meher Bano Qureshi won Multan’s NA-151 seat in a recount.

The team came across a Feb 11 X post by the Gillani House Media Cell which uploaded the supposed Form 49 or final result of the election for the constituency.

The form showed Musa with the highest votes in the constituency at 79,082 to Meher Bano’s 71,659.

The team confirmed the authenticity of the Form 49 via Dawn reporter Tassur Subhani who also said: “No recounting occurred in the NA-151 constituency of Multan and the circulating claim is not correct.”
