"We changed the lead of 70,000 votes of PTI candidates into defeat, We were ordered to do so by the Chief Election Commissioner. We changed the results of 13 winning candidates from Rawalpindi Division. I cannot bear this on my conscience and is resigning from my Post. Even to this day fake stamps are being lodged on ballots", Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaqat Ali Chatha

Now on what basis one could call this entire exercise even election?
 
It seems some people are beginning to lose sleep over this...yet others are still asking for evidence and mocking IK/PTI's political prowess and how they should have negotiated with Criminals.
 
Now this is getting serious. Where are all those guys defending some particular powerful people?

Rawalpindi commissioner resigns over alleged election rigging

Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha has resigned from his post amidst a flurry of startling revelations regarding electoral misconduct. In a series of dramatic statements, Chattha expressed remorse for his actions, citing shame and a desire for atonement.

Chattha expressed regret and remorse, stating that he feels ashamed of his actions and believes he should face severe consequences for his alleged misconduct.

In a series of videos going viral on social media, Chattha can be seen confessing to being involved in election duty and admitted to feeling ashamed of his responsibilities. He went on to declare that he should face the death penalty for his alleged crimes and recounted a scene where presiding officers were brought to tears before him.

Shockingly, Chattha claimed to have attempted suicide after morning Fajar prayers as a consequence of his actions.

Furthermore, the commissioner spoke of his fears of a repeat of the tragic events of 1971, stating that he wanted to relieve himself of the burden on his conscience. He expressed a desire for justice to prevail, insisting that others implicated in the misconduct should also face consequences.

Amidst these revelations, Chattha made allegations of electoral fraud, claiming that 13 Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) were defeated in his division despite initially leading by 70,000 votes. He alleged that fake seals were used to cheat voters and implicated Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja in the wrongdoing.

Chatta's resignation and subsequent statements have brought to light serious allegations of electoral malpractice, casting a shadow over the integrity of the electoral process in Rawalpindi. The unfolding situation has raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of elections in the region, prompting calls for thorough investigation and accountability.

@Rana you owe some explanation bro, Your leaders have created new records of rigging here.
 
Just like India' space mission chandaaryan Maryam Nawaz political career had a nosedive

As was Karachi, Central Punjab, and most South Punjab districts. There are reports of massive rigging in Balochistan and KPK as well so we can assume that there was rigging in every province of Pakistan.

Agreed...but the rigging that took place was slightly plausible in the other areas...i.e had it been done properly you could have bought it.

Islamabad and Pindi was the most blatant and illogical thing that took place. It was unfathomable.

This huge rigging can't be hidden. This is criminality on an industrial scale. The Election chief will have to hide in Canada or Australia and hope PKs don't find the crook

Rana I didn't bring you up to cop out like this...

Maybe it's time to admit that the elections were rigged big time, that PMLN/PPP are the scourge of the country and that that not only the PTI but any other party should not align themselves with crooks, incompetent thieves who have no care for the people of Pakistan.

Come on you can do it..

Now you see why the Nooras only got 17 seats or something the MQM normally gets and even they didnt get any legitimate seats this time . PML may come to power at gun point, a gun pointed at them to take power and a gun pointed at the public to allow them but this isn't going away.
 
Yet, still people will support those parties that were involved in this just for a family that couldn’t give a crap about your existence🤦🏻‍♂️
 
The Rawalpindi Commissioner literally waited until February 17 to expose the fraud in 17 seats of PML-N.

We knew in the region that Nooras have no support. Maybe you can present some form 45s to contradict him.

If they had formed a government he may have stayed quiet.

However the longer the delay the more time your conscience has....he would have been worried about getting caught. He did the right thing and fessed up.
 
Wow! This is blatant cheating. They didn't even try to make it less obvious.

What's the point of election? LOL.
 
PTI leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has demanded declaring election in Rawalpindi division as null and void, ARY News reported on Saturday.

It is to be mentioned here that Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaqat Ali Chatha has resigned from his post over accepting responsibility of alleged rigging in elections 2024.

Chattha admitted that the rigging took place in election and candidates who were leading in their constituencies with over 70,000 votes were converted to losers with the help of fake seals under his watch.

Barrister Gohar demanded an immediate inquiry of rigging allegations claimed by the Commissioner Rawalpindi division.

He said the Commissioner when saying that the winning candidates were defeated, he must tell, which candidates were winning. “We were winning the election according to form 45 but later our candidates were defeated with form 47,” PTI leader said.

Barrister Gohar said that the Commissioner’s statement is very serious. “We have to open the Pandora’s Box if we move towards a new election,” he added.

I dont think this is the way to achieve that. This exposes the whole plan to the world.

If they had simply wanted a reelection I think they would have kept saying it was fair and square had the courts order one under PTI pressure and then try again.

Or he is speaking for them to get the elections annulled. Apparently Isa and the bench that took up bat case have accepted to hear a case to annul the elections. Whatever they do, Isa was and is fully on board with the London plan

Malik Riaz & the art of the deal

The Pakistani state went out of its way to ensure that the property tycoon’s £190m settlement in the UK worked out in his favour.
www.dawn.com


March 21, 2016 the property was sold by Mr Nawaz for £42.5m to a British Virgin Islands company named Ultimate Holdings Management Ltd. Mr Riaz’s son, Ali Riaz Malik, signed for Ultimate Holdings; he was represented by Mischon de Reya law firm. Mr Nawaz signed for himself, witnessed by his lawyer Jeremy Freeman. (A couple of weeks before the sale took place, Mr Nawaz had been contacted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists about the Sharif family’s offshore companies that had come to light in the Panama Papers.)

I wonder if this guy is being blackmailed by Zardari to reveal all this.

Just saw his press conference, he has blown up his own career by admitting to the crime. His service will end, he wont be getting a pension and could now be tried for treason.

The blame will never fall on Asim Munir or anyone else, and will only fall on him for the Pindi seats (which i said were clearly rigged).

Zardari probably got to him to reveal all this, or else makes 0 sense to spill the beans and destroying your career

he needs to have evidence.

Hopefully, after destroying his own career he does have evidence to back up what he said.

I still believe it was Zardari's doing after figuring he couldnt get his PM, so he decided to throw the Establishment under the bus here

Coming up or coming out?

Why would you risk your family and your own life when you’re moving out of Pakistan in a couple of days. It doesn’t make sense.

Why wouldn’t he just stay quiet and then leave?
 
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Qazi Faez Isa responded to Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaqat Ali Chatha’s allegations regarding ‘rigging’ in the General Election 2024, ARY News reported.

In a statement, the CJP said that as per the constitution, it is the responsibility of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold the polls. “The allegations against me are baseless. Commissioner Rawalpindi should provide evidence for determining right or wrong,” he added.

Commissioner Rawalpindi did not present any evidence. Tomorrow he may come up with allegations of theft or murder. If it is his right to accuse someone, he should also provide evidence,” Justice Qazi Faez Isa said.

The CJP said that petitions pertaining to alleged irregularities and rigging are being filed and the judiciary will decide them as per law.

Earlier in the day, Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaqat Ali Chatha accused the CJP and Chief Election Commissioner of being involved in the ‘rigging’.

Liaqat Ali Chatha on Saturday resigned from his post and surrendered to police saying “I accept responsibility for rigging election 2024”.

If we see it rationally, A high ranking officer made these statements and allegations with careful consideration, or is it based on someone else's sayings? The story will unfold in a few days.
 
Following the statement related to ‘rigging in general election 2024’, the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb demanded that the name of Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaqat Ali Chatha should be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL), ARY News reported.

“Liaqat Ali Chatha should not be allowed to leave the country after his statement related to the ‘rigging in general election’ without any proof,” said PML-N’s Marriyum Aurangzeb in a presser.

She questioned, “why he [Commissioner Rawalpindi] realized to confess about ‘rigging’ after eight days as he has no constitutional responsibility for the election.”

Aurangzeb stated that Commissioner Rawalpindi should have approached the election commission first before accusing the Chief Justice of Pakistan and Chief Election Commissioner of rigging in the general election 2024.

“He should have approached ECP first, his allegations are baseless as he did not provide any evidence during her press conference,” Marriyum Aurangzeb said.

The PML-N’s spokesperson further added that the commissioner should have taken action against the accused involved in rigging.

“Do you want to de-rail the democracy through foreign meddling?” She questioned.

She called for an inquiry into Commissioner Rawalpindi’s actions, urging an investigation into his recent contacts over the past eight days.

She further emphasized the need for a thorough forensic audit of his accounts and proposed turning his allegations into a test case and the findings should be made public.

Maryam Aurangzeb asserted that penalties should be imposed for creating an inflammatory atmosphere through allegations.

She called for stringent action against Commissioner Rawalpindi and questioned whether he wanted to bring back the group that was empowered by “orchestrating the Result Transmission System (RTS) drama in 2018?”.

The PML-N’s spokesperson emphasized that the Commissioner’s accusations against the Chief Justice are not trivial, Liaqat Ali Chatha should provide evidence to support his allegations.

In what capacity and with what authority is she making these statements?
 
What it looks like to me is that Asim Munir is trying to throw the CEC and maybe even the CJP under the bus.

If i was involved in the rigging of the elections and I’ve been issued with a Visa to the US, the last thing I’d do is put myself and my family at risk of being killed by the state.
 
Malik Riaz has finished this tantrum.

============================================

Never met or contacted Pindi commissioner, says Malik Riaz on PML-N’s allegations

Property tycoon Malik Riaz has denied ever meeting or contacting Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha — who has confessed to rigging the Feb 8 elections.

In a post on X, the real estate developer termed the accusations levelled by PML-N regarding his involvement as “false and unfounded”.

“It’s so unfortunate that every time chaos happens in Pakistan, everyone starts pointing fingers at me or my organisation without any rationale, logic, or proof,” he said.

“I have never met or contacted Liaqat Chattha. I have no links to him, neither social nor business. The accusations by PML-N regarding my involvement with Liaqat Chattha are false and unfounded.”

Riaz said he was available for an inquiry in this regard. “As a Pakistani, I’m only praying for stability and prosperity in the country,” he concluded.

The "fight" between MR and the Nooras is about real as the fight between Bajwa and NS or the fight AZ and NS or the fight between JKT and the Nooras. You get my point especially after MR brought the £42mn property to save their backsides in the Panama papers.
