PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supported candidates, including former Deputy Speaker Mahmood Jan and Ex-provincial minister Kamran Bangash had challenged election results of Constituencies PK-72 and PK-82, respectively.
The pleas have been filed through Advocate Ali Gohar Darani, who has submitted petitions to the Election Tribunal. The Election Commission, District Returning Officers (DROs), and successful candidates were named as respondents in the petitions.
It is alleged in the petitions that discrepancies were found between Form 45 and Form 47, where successful candidates were declared winners in Form 45 but opposition candidates were declared successful in Form 47. The signatures of Presiding Officers on Form 45 and Form 46 also differ.
The petitions have requested the tribunal to summon polling agents and Presiding Officers as official witnesses to verify Forms 45 and 46. Concerns have been raised about multiple Form 45s being filled by one person, casting doubts on the election results.
Despite filing complaints with the Election Commission, the candidates claim that their grievances were not properly addressed and their requests were dismissed. However, according to the results on Form 45, the petitioners have emerged victorious.
The Election Tribunal has been urged to rearrange constituency results in accordance with the results on Form 45 and to ensure a fair investigation into the matter. The petitioners pleaded for declaring successful candidates results null and void as well as argued for issuance of success notifications in favor of them as per Form45 collected by polling agents.
