Restoring Democracy: An International Call to Uphold the People’s Mandate in Pakistan.

In a critical moment for democracy in Pakistan, the 2024 elections have been clouded by allegations of significant electoral rigging, implicating a consortium of the country’s establishment, including some top army generals, the caretaker government, the Chief Election Commissioner, and some high court & supreme judges. These accusations suggest a concerted effort to skew election results in favor of entrenched political figures, including Nawaz Sharif and his family (PMLN ), Asif Ali Zardari (PPP ), the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), and Maulana Fazlur Rehman (JUI-F ), to the detriment of Imran Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which had reportedly secured a sweeping two-thirds majority according to public mandate.

The international community, including media from the UK, EU, and US, alongside parliamentarians across these regions, has voiced concern over these allegations, signalling a deep unease about the integrity of Pakistan’s electoral process. At the heart of these concerns is Imran Khan, currently imprisoned on charges deemed by many as unfounded, with more than 200 legal cases against him, suggesting a targeted effort to diminish his political influence. Furthermore, PTI’s campaign was notably hampered, with over 3000 workers arrested and the party’s election symbol revoked, despite an unprecedented turnout on his call indicating a massive mandate from the people.

NEW SCIENARIO AFTER RIGGED ELECTION: 

The latest scenario after rigged Elections in Pakistan, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by Imran Khan, achieved a significant victory in the elections, securing a two-thirds majority. Despite this purported landslide win, it's claimed that a combination of powerful forces, including the establishment, the Chief Justice, and the Chief Election Commissioner, intervened in a manner that effectively reversed the electoral outcome. This intervention is described as having transferred victory from PTI to the opposing parties, labeled as "MANDATE THIEVES," who, despite being rejected by the electorate, are now in the process of forming a government. This maneuver not only sidelines PTI to the opposition benches but also involves a plan to reallocate reserved seats for women and minorities from PTI to these other parties, further diminishing PTI's representation and influence.

The actions described raise significant concerns regarding the constitutional and democratic principles governing the electoral process. The call for this process to be halted and for the PTI to be reinstated to its rightful position suggests a deep dissatisfaction with the handling of electoral outcomes and a plea for adherence to democratic norms and the will of the people. Such a situation underscores the importance of transparency, legality, and fairness in the electoral process, essential for maintaining public trust in democratic institutions and the political stability of the country. The demand for PTI to be allowed to form governments at both federal and provincial levels reflects a desire for the electoral mandate to be respected, ensuring that the governance of the country reflects the electoral will of its citizens.

The petition calls for an immediate stop to the process that allegedly overturned the election results, which saw PTI winning a significant majority.

The Petition’s Demands:

1. Immediate Halt to the Current Process.
2. Transparency and Fairness in Electoral Processes.
3. Restoration of PTI’s Seats.
4. Recognition of PTI’s Electoral Victory.
5. Protection of Reserved Seats for Women and Minorities.
6. Formation of Government by PTI.
7. Adherence to Constitutional and Democratic Principles.

 

We demand:

1. International Pressure on the Chief Justice of Pakistan: We call upon the international community, including the United Nations and international court of Justice, to exert pressure on the Chief Justice of Pakistan to ensure a fair and transparent investigation and recount of the election results. This includes reviewing all allegations of rigging submitted by PTI candidates.

2. Release of Imran Khan: The immediate release of Imran Khan & his Party workers is imperative, allowing him to participate in the political process and lead as the elected representative of the people’s will with 2/3 majority.

3. Action Against Electoral Manipulation: There needs to be accountability for any individuals or entities found guilty of manipulating the electoral process, including the illegal practices of buying successful candidates of PTI and forming governments through undemocratic means, as alleged with the formation of the prior PDM government.
