Allegations of rigging in the 2024 Pakistani general election information
Controversy in Pakistani politics
The 2024 Pakistani general election was marred by allegations of vote rigging and delayed results. These allegations led to widespread protests and unrest across the country.[1] The Military Establishment was accused of rigging in favour of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N)'s leader Nawaz Sharif to keep the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's leader Imran Khan out of the electoral race.[2][3][4][5] Foreign media, observer groups and members of the international community, including the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union, have voiced their concerns about the fairness of the elections.[6][7]
Media outlets around the world denounced the election as "fraudulent"[8] with western media characterizing the election as already decided in favor of the military's preferred candidate Nawaz Sharif.[9]
Vote rigging and irregularities were allegedly to have occurred through the Election Commission of Pakistan’s Form 45s and Form 47s. Many activists and politicians including former Pakistani Prime Ministers, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Imran Khan have alleged that Form 45s carry the actual results while Form 47s were allegedly prepared before Form 45s.[10][11]
