PTI Chairmans Press Conference of Monday 11

th
Aug 2014
All actors exposed who Rigged the General Election May 2013
1) Background: Chairman to please state what all he has been saying for past 14 months
regarding RIGGING. Giving Examples of specific Constituencies.
Than he may say; On this day I will reveal The Master Plan of Rigging:

Those responsible for conducting the Election were: (i) ECP (ii) DROs/ROs/AROs ,( iii) The
Presiding Officers (iv) The Caretaker Setup. The nexus between these THREE with PML N is : ECP
was formed in negation of the provisions of the Constitution under Art 263 and 218. The
Member from Sindh J Essani was PPP nominee, J Riaz Kiani , was N League nominee for Punjab, J
Shezad Akbar was ANPs nominee from KPK,& J Fazl ur Rehman was CJP Iftikhars nominee from
Btan( he was CJPs registrar when he was CJ in Btan. He was made Judge of the HC in Btan on
CJPs recommendation.) That is how the Parliamentary Committee unanimously decided the
names of the MEMBERS. The catch point here is that ALL MEMBERS INCLUDING THE CHAIRMAN
of ECP had equal voting power ie the majority decision prevailed by Law, as against the old Law
where CEC had much more powers than the members.
The BRIEF on the Election Commissioner Punjab is MOST important which goes as follows: As the
election drew closer in March 2013, Justice R. Kiani rang up the Provincial Election Commissioner ( Mr.
Qadri) of Punjab that somebody from PMLN will contact him and he was ordered to address their
grievances. Pervez Malik, MNA from Lahore contacted him and asked him to remove the banners of PTI
before their 23
rd
March 2013, gathering at Minare Pakistan, under the garb of signboards being oversize.
The Provincial Election Commissioner did not oblige him on the grounds that if he had to remove the
oversized posters, it should be uniform for all the political parties including PMLN.. On sensing that the
incumbent in Punjab will not toe PMLNs line , he was transferred by the CEC to Sindh in the last week of
March and a more amenable man Mr. Mehboob Anwer was placed in Punjab, which was clear violation
of the provisions that no postings at that level should take place after election schedule was
announced. This EC also later conducted all the bye- election in Punjab and till date he is posted here
after retiring from service but has been awarded ONE year extension for his services rendered.

a) DROs /ROs/AROs/Presiding Officers : Here the most important role was that of Justice
Rtd. Khaleel ur Rehman Ramday. His association with CJP Iftikhar Chy is well known; he
headed the bench reinstating CJP , he got extension in service( against laid down policy)
from CJP himself ; he was invited to sit on all the benches headed by CJP etc . J Ramday was
the one who bulldozed everyone and convinced Nawaz Sharif to give an early VICTORY
speech on the night of 11
th
May 2013. I t was again J Ramday who hosted many DROs at his
residence before the Elections, with CJP Iftikhar Chy as Chief guest, and gave motivational
speech to save Pakistan and for this to b achieved the result of the Election was very
important. He also maintained an Election Cell in his office to liaison with DROs/ROs .
THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDING OFFICERS????
Care -Taker Set up in Punjab. The role of Najam Sethi is very important in Rigging the Elections
. To show his neutrality, at the face value, he rotated all the officers with in the districts of Punjab. All
these officers were chosen/ selected by ex CM in 2008--2013. All of them had worked with the Ex- CM
for past 5 years at least and were holding important positions. Their mere rotation meant nothing, as
being claimed by caretakers, as their loyalty remained intact while moving from one place to the other.
But very cleverly and intelligently in consultation with Shehbaz Sharif, Sethi did not remove the head of
departments who had a pivotal role in conducting the Elections. The department which provided
manpower for conducting the election in the form of polling staff, polling officers and presiding officers
mostly came from Revenue, Education and Health departments. Hence Nadeem Ashraf, Senior
Member Board of Revenue, Aslam Kamoh Secretary Education(primary), who were working with
Shahbaz Sharif, were not changed. The caretakers needed money for their extra constitutional acts and
coercive powers to control the opposition for that Tariq Bajwa Secretary Finance and Shahid Khan
Secretary Home were also not transferred.
2) When the campaign of the General Elections 2013 started gaining pace in early 2013, PMLN was
amazed by the enthusiasm and the participation of the general public in PTI rallies all over the country.
They were of the view that PPP because of their dismal performance during the last five years was
virtually rudderless and all political pundits were unanimous in their assessments that the fight was
between PMLN and PTI was in the Punjab.
After a lot of deliberations & discussions, the leadership of PMLN came to the conclusion that battle
for Islamabad has to be fought in Punjab. Hence the plan to steal the elections was conceived for
Punjab which suited them because of their hold on the entire administration, having ruled there since
1980s for over 25 years in total. These DROs/ROs played their role very intelligently even before the
elections. They changed the polling staff in number of constituencies on number of occasions, they
shifted the votes from one polling stations to another to cause confusion amongst voters on the request
of the N League contestants. Certain localities in urban and rural areas were changed from one polling
station to another. The polling schemes were also changed on the direction of ROs by the EC. Any RO
who did not comply with the instruction were changed even a day before the election (DRO Vehari is
one of the examples).
1) Now comes the master stroke: On 9
th
May 2013 just 2 days prior to the elections, the
Provincial Election Commissioner Punjab( Mr.Mehboob Anwar) requested the Punjab
Government ( The Chief Secy Javed Iqbal/Adl Chief Secy Rao Iftikhar) that he needed
200 professionals for the printing of large quantity of extra ballot papers. When the
CS/Adl CS asked the EC that by now the ballots have already been printed as per SOP ;
why need had arisen for such extra ballot papers to be printed 2 days before the
general election? The Provincial Election Commissioner only replied that it was orders
from the top. He insisted that 200 people be provided to him for Lahore and
Rawalpindi Divisions , where the main printing firms existed . As revealed some
quantity of ballots were for all the constituencies in the FIVE divisions of Punjab
which forms the majority of NA/PA seats, 98 NA and approx 200 PA seats. The
divisions being Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore Multan & Faisalabad. The Adl CS than
conveyed to both the Commissioners to provide assistance to EC Punjab, from the
local markets with such professional skill.
It can now be easily explained that these extra printed ballots were basically to help N
League candidates.

The extra printing of ballots also explains the surge in the vote bank of PML-N from 6.8 million
(2008) to more than double the votes going upto 14.5 million in 2013

As the time was short for printing the work was out sourced and that is why compromise in
quality of paper has occurred. Hence smudging of ink and NADRA machines refusing to identify
the voter. For Lahore div the printing work, amongst others, was given to one S. Shaukat Noor,
Printers opp Ghora Hospital Lahore. The unique feature ONLY is specific to Punjab only as no
other province out sourced the printing work of Ballot paper. The Adl CS kept following the
progress of printing and delivery from Lahore & Rawalpindi Div. Record of SMS f exchanged
with Commissioners of Lahore, RWP and Adl CS can be examined as proof there of. This also
explains the late delivery of many of Ballot Papers at many places. As per procedure in vogue in
the ECP all the Election material including the Ballot Papers are suppose to reach the DROs by
9
th
May(latest 2 days before election Day) On the 10
th
evening all the material are to reach the
polling stations. So that early morning on the Election Day the polling exercise is started on time.
Great effort was put in this exercise in printing ad transportation of Huge quantities to each
constituency. Record will show that in Kasur the Ballot Papers were received on the morning of 11
th

May. These Ballots were also given to some vulnerable candidates of PML N, besides some special
stuffing done in Ballot Boxes before they were brought to ROs by Presiding Officers. It is in this respect
that the requirement to complete FORM 15,& 14 could not stand tests of scrutiny ant any level of
inspection.
The disposal of extra ballot papers to help Candidates of N- League the following means were adopted:--
i) Change of Ballot Boxes ( old with new tampered ones). A glaring example of change of Ballot
Boxes has been witnessed in Constituency N A 125 DHA Lahore, where N League Candidate
was Kh Saad Rafique, now Fed Railway Minister. A very respectable neighbor of Kh. Saad,
whose backyard overlooks the porch of Khawaja s house at 85 D Phase-I DHA Lahore,
confided in PTI works/ that his staff noticed a large number of Ballot Boxes being placed
on his porch 2 days before the elections. Then a day before the election a few truck loads of
more Ballot Boxes were moved into his house.
ii) This advantage of printing of extra ballot papers were used ,Specially in constituencies
where the results were delayed by the ROs, the replacement of Ballot Boxes was the main
cause of the delayed announcement.

iii) Stuffing of Ballot Boxes by polling agents, Pos,& ROs who delayed the results for long
periods of time.
iv) The entire process could not have been accomplished without the connivance of ECP
Islamabad J Kiani and the supervising staff. Who later distributed the Ballots to various
districts.
v) It was because of this exercise that the results were held for over 24 hours by the ROs,
which has been unprecedented in all previous elections.
vi) This entire exercise would not have been possible without the connivance of Provincial
Election Commissioner Punjab and the DROs/ROs.
vii) The Presiding Officers(POs) in most of the cases never gave signed copies of the results to
the agents of the contesting candidates.
viii) The ROs did the consolidation of results without allowing the candidates to witness the
proceedings. They rather deviated from the practice of receiving results from POs in the
presence of Candidates/reps
