The article discusses the announcement of a website called form45.com, which has gained attention for showcasing Form-45 documents allegedly released by presiding officers from various constituencies following the recent elections in Pakistan on February 8.
Form-45 contains the vote count of specific polling stations after an election, signed and stamped by the presiding officer.
Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party claim to have collected Form-45s from multiple polling stations and conducted their analysis, suggesting that PTI-backed candidates secured victory in at least 155 out of 264 National Assembly constituencies contested.
However, official Form-47s issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) indicate that only 92 PTI-backed independent candidates emerged victorious.
Here’s How To Check The Real Winner From Constituency Online
This section highlights the controversy surrounding the discrepancy between the Form-45s and Form-47s, with nearly every constituency seemingly having two versions of Form-45s—one aligning with PTI-backed candidates and the other with candidates declared winners by the ECP.
Social media teams affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) claim that PTI has tampered with the Form-45s, adding to the complexity of the situation.
Who is behind Form45.com and Limited Data Set?
Form45.com has become a focal point for the dissemination of Form-45 documents, with hundreds of forms surfacing on the website.
Despite technical difficulties, including a server error and potential attacks, the website remains accessible. However, it offers a limited data set, with Form-45 documents available for only a handful of constituencies.
The article concludes by discussing the challenges hindering the sharing of Form-45s, such as candidates in hiding, limited access to technology, and delays in obtaining forms from RO offices.
