A record number of over 1.5 million votes were rejected in the 2013 general election, according to an internal Election Commission of Pakistan document.

Political analysts say that this is the highest ever number of votes rejected during any electoral process in the country’s history.

Earlier on Friday Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chairman Imran Khan disclosed that an unprecedented number of over 5.5 million extra votes were printed in three of the five printing presses designated for the purpose in various cities. He suspected that this was meant to manipulate polls in several constituencies.

According to the Election Commission document, there were 13 National Assembly constituencies where over 10,000 votes were rejected, while 150 constituencies saw anywhere between five and ten thousand votes rejected. Six of the 13 constituencies where over 10,000 votes were rejected are in Sindh, five in Punjab and one each in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The highest number of rejected ballots (25,562) was recorded in Balochistan’s NA-266 (Nasirabad-cum-Jaffarabad), where former prime minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali — contesting as an independent candidate — had defeated the independent Mir Saleem Ahmad Khosa by a margin of 5,861 votes. This was one of the constituencies linked with the allegations of “35 punctures” levelled by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) against the ruling party.

In NA-221 Hyderabad-III, 24,516 votes were rejected. The seat was won by Amir Ali Shah Jamote of the PPP. In NA-175 Rajanpur-II, Punjab, where PML-N’s Hafeezur Rahman Khan emerged victorious, 14,058 ballots were rejected.

In NA-244 Karachi-VI, won by Sheikh Salahuddin, as many as 13,905 ballots were rejected as compared to 1,492 and 27 in 2008 and 2002, respectively.

In NA-245 Karachi-VII, won by the MQM’s Rehan Hashmi, 12,006 votes were rejected. The number was just 841 in 2008 and 1,106 in 2002.

In NA-246 Karachi-VIII, where Nabeel Gabol emerged victorious on an MQM ticket, 15,946 votes were rejected in 2013. In 2008, the number was 1,281 and a mere 837 in 2002.

In NA-253 Karachi-XV, claimed by another MQM leader, Muzammil Qureshi, the number of rejected votes was 10,956 as against 2,744 and 1,101 in 2008 and 2002, respectively.

In NA-73 Bhakkar-II, where another PML-N candidate Abdul Majeed Khan emerged victorious, a total of 13,256 votes were rejected in 2013, as against 6,317 in 2008 and 3,800 in 2002.

In NA-78 Faisalabad-IV, the total number of rejected ballot papers was 12,488. In 2008 and 2002, just over 5,000 votes each were rejected in this constituency. -news@khaleejtimes.com

You paid genius, every country prints extra ballots. There is nothing new about it. He brings up these prophecies every Sunday to give you and a few other idiots around his container something new to talk about till the next Sunday when accusation-candy is given to you guys again.

The supreme court had also discussed this in his previous case last year, and had explained to him the process. At that time people from EC were there too. Seems like he ran out of accusations and tried to cook something up, but he's cooking a dish that was already served last year. This is a sad end of a sad, violent political campaign. No result, many dead, billions of loss and 0 results to the common citizen. Now, the guy goes to the next level of mental illness and wants to start a civil war that will break the country.
There were smart people who did predictions that Pakistan will break into Pashtunistan and Pakistan and there is a map out there too. You guys are committing treason against Pakistan by supporting the breakup and that through violence and civil disobedience when IK and his buddies refuse to resign from their seats. Just see how big of a blackmailing ring this is. People like this who lie, commit fraud, violate the constitution can never be a premier of a civilized state. You can bet your money on it.

they are not printed secretly and they are returned when they are not used. In this case the is no record of where did all the extra papers go .

 

[graphican]

Slowly and despite denying, ECP and government is slipping into trap. Initially election commission had refused existence of extra ballot papers altogether. Now they would have to justify under which law and under which checks and balances these papers were printed.

PMLN is such a joke. They think they are smart but ya smart like a jack @$$!
