The PTI has alleged that the recently uploaded Form 45 issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan has been “rigged” as well.
In a post shared on X, the PTI shared a picture claiming it to be the “original” Form 45 from polling station no.19 Decent Public School of NA-128, where Salman Akram Raja contested.
