ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Sunday that Omar Ayub Khan would become Prime Minster if the Election Commission of Pakistan released election results as per Form 45.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, Barrister Gohar demanded an immediate inquiry into rigging allegations claimed by Commissioner Rawalpindi division Liaqat Ali Chatha. Chatha has resigned from his post over accepting responsibility for alleged rigging in polls.
He admitted that the rigging took place in the general elections and candidates who were leading in their constituencies with more than 70,000 votes were converted to losers with the help of fake seals under his watch.
Barrister Gohar said the commissioner when saying that the winning candidates were made losers, he must tell, which candidates were winning. We were winning the election 2024 according to form 45 but later our candidates were defeated with form 47, he said.
The PTI leader said that the commissioner’s statement is very serious.
