Delay well it is turning out to be a tight battle in Pakistan’s election for now it seems like a very close contest between the independent candidates backed by Imran Khan’s party and the party of the former three-time prime minister nawas Sharif uh these are just initial results and the situation is

Dwelling even as we speak uh both major parties have announced their victories overnight and they have said that they are in a position to form a federal government but it is too early to call and uh to call because the field Still Remains open yet uh it looks like that

There will be a collision government formed in Pakistan uh one possible Alliance could be the pmln of Naas Sharif sharing power with the PPP of baval b zardari a coalition that we have seen in recent Parts in 2022 these two parties joined joined hands to vote

Imran Khan out of office in a motion of no confidence then another scenario can be that one of the major parties is able to uh get close to getting the majority and then they can form an alliance with smaller Regional parties but the risk of having such a non majority government is

Imran Khan is in prison for the last five months and he has been convicted of multiple charges just few weeks before the election and there was a straight Crackdown against his party they were not allowed to contest the elections on their historic bat symbol and the party

Had to present it its candidates as Independents uh in many areas uh the candidates were not even allowed to openly campaign still a large number of his supporters have come out to vote for him which shows that the tactics used by the Pakistani State and the strong establishment of the country has not

Worked to corrupt the popularity of the former prime minister Imran Khan actually weeks before the election uh the political analyst here in Islamabad believed that it was an easy win for the party of Naas Sharif not only because he had a strong uh base in the country’s largest province of Punjab but also

  1. General of Pakistan are forget 1971 and East Pakistan. Now I'm afraid maybe again Pakistan are going to the way of divided several parts. Already corrupt establishment and politicians they're not love Pakistan. No foreign investment in the country. I think after few months maybe India 🇮🇳 will take chances like as 1971 and now a day's Indian reserve are more then 600 billion. Money more powerful than your atomic bombs. Be alert.

  3. In reality Imran Khan won the elections by landslide. The army establishment rigged the election and are still rigging them to put out their desired outcome. Shame on them to murder the democracy

  5. Tnry stopped results and called rangers and covered all voting areas and changed in 4 hours during closed internet and Mobile service.PTI defeated in all.They stole mandidate of Imran Khan party.Shamre on these people to keep Nawaz Sharif in govt and his daughters.

  6. Pakistani people voted for Imran Khan but corrupt military officials are not in a favor of making him a PM so they are rigging elections now to make another corrupt politician name Nawaz sharif.

  7. Imran khans party won 160 seats … however the results have been rigged by the Pakistani army , chamged them to support the corrupt thieves and pmln and ppp

  8. Pakistan army election officials do not know how democracy works…. PTI and Imran Khan who has the most votes and support are the winners and must form the government… not the the least popular parties.

  9. There is rigging going on. PTI (Independent candidates) were already winning when they stopped giving out results at night and there is visual proof of rigging at night. PTI HAS WON WITH A LANDSLIDE. WHY DOES THE WESTERN MEDIA NOT REPORTING THE TRUTH.

  10. Report all around Pakistan that Imran khan jailed winning Elections in night and after 4am night results are changed and rigging started.
    Joke with Pakistani voters who voted Imran khan

  12. Most rigged elections in the history of Pakistan… Imran khan's party was clearly winning but they delayed the elections to change the results

  13. Corrupt General Aasim Muneer and corrupt isi cheap are on the pay Roll and Night Roll of DACOO MARYAM NAWAZ….SO THEY SERVE THE INTRESTS OF PMLN BY WAY OF RIGGING

  15. Salutes to the honest Hero imran Khan from Srinagar Kashmir

  19. Imran khan & allies won hands down
    Military helped corrupt politicians like Pml n and PPP to manipulate results over night 😢, people of Pakistan voted for PTI

  25. Close competition? Shame on your analysis Shazaib. Pls stop talking Army chief's language. PTI had sweeping victory across allseats, national and provincial. It's no surprise! It was expected as PTI is the only true national party.

  33. It's not fair reporting, everyone in Pakistan knows that Imran Khan has won the elections in a historic landslide victory but establishment is announcing the pre planned results

  34. Where is the US who orchestrated this drama. Why aren't they talking about the brazen butchering of human rights and democracy. Because they hste Imran Khan who wouldn't bow down and take their orders.

  36. Allegations abound that the recent elections were marred by extensive rigging, with Imran Khan purportedly securing an initial landslide victory of 90% but later plummeting to 45% due to election-day manipulation. The Pakistan army is accused of a litany of oppressive tactics, including attempted assassinations, false imprisonments, and intimidation tactics aimed at silencing dissenting voices. Imran Khan himself has been targeted with a multitude of false accusations and a 31-year prison sentence. Supporters and family members of political activists, including children and elderly parents, have been subject to arbitrary arrests and threats. The judiciary is alleged to have been compromised, with judges coerced into rendering biased verdicts against political opponents. Social media posts have led to arrests and even deaths of journalists and activists. Imran Khan's party has faced relentless obstruction in organizing rallies, with police crackdowns and internet disruptions thwarting their efforts. On election day, internet and phone services were reportedly withheld to hinder voter communication and access to polling stations.
