Prologue

The decision to issue this White Paper is to reflect the deep concerns shown by the
public at large in Pakistan about their stolen mandate and international level serious
observations pertaining to blatant abuse of democratic norms and values which were required
to take roots on strength of ballot. The opportunity to bring political stability has once again
been lost due to meandering and manipulation of Election Results.

The White Paper is a collection of detailed information from national and international
electronic and print media and records provided by our lawmakers who contested election
and were a witness to ground realities and various abuses demonstrated by ECP in stealing
the public mandate.

The reporting of international and national watchdogs, NGOs and human rights
organizations was given special space to authenticate the situation prevalent in Pakistan in
relation to atrocities, inflicted to PTI workers and leaders leading up to and on day of poll and
post-poll including managing the election results as per pre-planned rigging strategy.

The data collected based on Form-45 of all snatched national and provincial
constituencies was fed to an Analysis Cell comprising experts and analysts for collation,
interpretation and transforming it into cognizable material evidence to prove the corruption
and corrupt practices committed by the ECP staff and ROs. The analysed data was also
subjected to third-party audit for its correctness and authenticity.

To this end Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf finds it as a sacred responsibility, being majority
federating Political Party, towards people of Pakistan who came out and voted or supported
(being abroad); to ascertain the truth, fair play and transparency of General Elections 2024.

Acknowledgement
PTI pays rich tributes to its Election Analysis and Management Cell, Tiger Force Volunteers, Central
Media Department and Social Media Team in laying out comprehensive and intrusive canvas on

May 14th, but due to delay in issuing the notification by the Governor, elections could
not be held.

PPP, Yousaf Raza Gillani. All others had also political affiliations and lineage towards

in Peshawar and Faisalablad.

registered voters at far away locations. Most of the young voters were
believed to be PTI supporters.

huge problems and shortage of PTI vote bank.

women folk in mainstream politics. Few to name are Sanam Javaid whose papers were

 PTI DEMANDS
The Whitepaper issued by PTI containing material evidence bears testimony that the
General and By-Elections 2024 were manipulated and rigged starting from the Pre-Poll Phase
to the culminating point of the Government Official Gazette Notification. The testimonial
statement of Commissioner Rawalpindi involved in rigging and a letter of NA-8 , RO
pertaining to manhandling of his staff added to the PTI position and claim of corrupt
practices where whole election scheme was managed with impunity. In By-Election advance
signing on Forms- 45 by polling agents under duress was reported by PATTAN.
The surrendering of constituencies by the winning candidates in favour of PTI speaks
volumes about the integrity icons we have in the arena of politics but also cast dark shadow
over the unfortunate decay of our institutions in the realm of their integrity, fair play and
justice in accordance with the Constitution of Pakistan.
The mandate of the public at large and the people of Pakistan have been subjected to
blatant robbery in broad daylight, putting them in a state of dismay and helplessness against
the hope of bringing change through the strength of the ballot. PTI demands following as a
pathway towards true democracy:
● All institutions should connect under the given dictates of Constitution of Pakistan to
navigate through the impasse created by the General Election - 2024 by reverting to
actual and true mandate of public bestowed in PTI based on Form- 45 vote count.
This will bring much-needed political stability warranted for economic stability, State
badly needs at this point of time since its coming into existence.
● The Supreme Court of Pakistan should exercise the vital power vested in it by the
Constitute of Pakistan under Article 184 (3) to guard the Constitution by exposing the
systematic and countrywide electoral fraud.
● Independent judicial commission be formed to investigate the whole process of
election’s fraud and those involved in heinous crime of social injustice, corruption
and corrupt practices of cheating the public mandate especially Election Commission
of Pakistan if found guilty be charged under the dictates of law. Commission should
have access to the reports prepared by various independent observers including the
EU Mission, PATTAN, PILDAT, FAFEN, Common Wealth Observers Group, US Institute
of Peace etc. and should have power to summon any person for recording his/her
statement.

26
 ● Judicial Commission may also be tasked to recommend appropriate electoral reforms
for bringing transparency, fair play and merit in the election system so that
opportunities of manipulation are brought to minimum as is demonstrated in
developed democratic countries.
● Imran Khan should be released immediately, and all politically motivated cases
against him and other PTI leadership, and supporters should be withdrawn. Those
responsible for instigating these baseless cases should be held accountable for
undermining the integrity of justice.
The democracy loving people of Pakistan call upon the International Community to support
them in their struggle for democratic processes marred and abused since over five decades
and the request is based on equality of rights for all in accordance with the Constitution of
Pakistan, regardless of ethnicity, religion or gender.
