-----

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has finally conceded in its verification report that 259 out of the 325 polling bags of constituency NA-118, Lahore, contained bogus ballots, Express Investigation Cell (EIC) learnt on Wednesday.

According to experts, NADRA had submitted its verification report to the election tribunal on June 9, which spoke of unprecedented rigging in NA-118 in last year’s general elections.

Some officials of the database authority partook in adding bogus votes in the constituency’s polling bags during the last week of May to change the result in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s favour.

NADRA authorities allegedly switched off CCTV cameras of the office where they were carrying out the illegal activity.

After the incident was reported in the media, NADRA authorities reportedly forced officials responsible for security to give a back-dated written statement that CCTV cameras were out of order much before May 22, revealed officials.

Interior minister Chaudhary Nisar summoned Imtiaz Tajwar to his chamber in parliament last week to seek an explanation from him about why NADRA indulged in such dubious activities, they added.

Moreover, it was revealed that the body’s networks director, Shehzad, and his team who were responsible for CCTV cameras were transferred from the headquarters to Nadra Technologies Limited (NTL) in the third week of June.

In response to an EIC questionnaire, NADRA’s spokesperson Faik Ali denied the accusation that acting NADRA chairman had called the security chief and other officials concerned on June 7 (Saturday, a weekly holiday) to force them to give the desired statement of the cameras being out of order before May 22.

He maintained that NADRA has footage of the election material being handed over to officials in the presence of Justice (Retd) Munir Ahmed Mughal and there was no possibility of any change in the result of the constituency.

Officials claim that NADRA has submitted an ambiguous verification report to the election tribunal to intentionally add more confusion in the case. It confirmed that the database authority received election material of NA-118 consisting 325 polling bags from 251 polling stations of the constituency but still said, in the following paragraph, that NADRA needs the complete election material from the constituency for further verification.

ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has submitted its report regarding discrepancies in the thumb verification record of NA-118, to an election tribunal in Lahore.

“Nadra’s verification report is based on facts and Nadra will stand by them in any court of law,” Nadra spokesperson Faik Ali said in a statement issued on Friday.

He said the authority adopted the same methodology that was followed in all 23 reports submitted to various election tribunals. “The reports of 23 constituencies neither implicate nor exonerate any one or any party,” he added.
According to Nadra’s spokesperson, the report contains nothing in favour of or against any party

The NA-118 (Lahore-I) is one of the four constituencies where candidates of the Pakistan Muslim League-N had been declared successful. However, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf alleges that the election on these seats was ‘rigged’.

According to the statement, the report pertaining to NA-118 is based on facts and does not conclude in favour of any of the parties. The findings are based on the verification exercise carried out in accordance with the mandate defined by election tribunal, it said.

“This report was accordingly submitted to the Lahore election tribunal for legal proceedings on June 9. It is, thereafter, the jurisdiction of the Lahore election tribunal to draw any conclusions in order to pass judgment either in line with Nadra’s verification report or any other evidence or consideration as admissible under law,” the spokesperson said.

The handing-over of election materials from NA-118 was carried out in the presence of the election tribunal representative, retired Justice Munir Ahmed Mughal, the spokesperson said.

During this process, it was observed that only 69 polling bags contained the complete relevant material required to comply with the orders of the election tribunal, the statement added.

This fact was immediately brought into the notice of election tribunal through Nadra’s letter issued on April 9, 2014. Subsequently, the election tribunal in an order on April 10, 2014, defined the scope of Nadra’s verification exercise.

Given the mentality of the politicians and their followers the only way is implementation of biometric verification of voter and electronic voting for free and fair elections in Pakistan

Have a look at this report E-Voting in UAE FNC Elections: A Case Study (33) | Dr. Ali Al-Khouri - Academia.edu

It won't be difficult to implement something like above in and outside Pakistan considering that as per NADRA they have full and complete database of all voters through computerized or chip NIC and computerized NICOP.
