Pakistan Election Results

Pakistan Election Results:

Pakistan Election Results 2024: Early results of the Pakistan national polls have given an edge to Nawaz Sharif, who has won his seat in Lahore amid allegations of “unprecedented pre-poll rigging” leveled by Imran Khan’s party. Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has alleged tampering in vote counting for the formation of the new government. Imran Khan is in jail, and his PTI party was barred from Thursday’s election, so his supporters contested as independents and performed surprisingly well, exceeding expectations and prompting the PTI to claim victory. An inordinate delay was also reported in vote counting, which the government attributed to a “lack of connectivity.” Nawaz Sharif, who returned to Pakistan after years of exile, is expected to become the next prime minister if his party emerges as the single largest party. The elections in Pakistan concluded on Wednesday amid rigging allegations and cellular and internet outages. On Thursday, even as the death toll from twin bombings a day before claimed at least 30 lives, in the worst election-related violence ahead of the contested elections, Pakistanis braved cold winter weather to vote for the new government.
