Allegations of Fake Voting Emerge in Gujranwala By-Election

November 8, 2026 • 3 days ago •

GUJRANWALA: Allegations of fraudulent voting have surfaced in the recent by-election held in Gujranwala, raising serious concerns over the electoral process in Pakistan. Reports indicate that multiple instances of fake votes being cast were observed, prompting calls for immediate investigation.

Election observers and local party representatives have reported irregularities, with some claiming that unauthorized individuals were seen casting votes on behalf of others. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has yet to release an official statement addressing these allegations, but political parties, particularly the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), are demanding accountability and transparency.

This situation poses significant implications for the integrity of Pakistan’s electoral system, as public trust in the democratic process is at stake. If these allegations are substantiated, it could lead to widespread protests and calls for reforms within the ECP, further complicating the political landscape ahead of upcoming general elections.

In response to the allegations, the ECP has announced plans to conduct a thorough investigation into the voting process in Gujranwala. Stakeholders are urged to submit evidence of any irregularities, and a report is expected to be released within the next few weeks, which could influence future electoral policies.
