Imran Khan Voting from Jail

Pakistan’s 12th general elections took place on Thursday, with polling beginning at 8 am local time. The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) led by ex-premier Nawaz Sharif is anticipated to emerge as the single-largest party in the 336-seat National Assembly. Bilawal Bhutto’s Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is projected to secure the second position, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of Imran Khan is expected to follow.

The polling covered 266 seats in the 336-member National Assembly, with the remaining 70 reserved for women and non-Muslims. Approximately 13 million Pakistanis, nearly half of the nation’s population, were eligible to vote.

As the day unfolded, incidents were reported, including an attack in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, resulting in the tragic death of a soldier. Security measures were robust, with tens of thousands of personnel deployed at polling stations, and a temporary suspension of nationwide mobile phone services to maintain law and order.

Notably, Mohsin Dawar, a Pakistani politician, raised concerns about a Taliban takeover at a polling station in Tappi, North Waziristan. Additionally, a video shared by Jamaat e Islami Pakistan alleged instances of rigging, further contributing to the complex narrative surrounding the electoral process.

The unfolding events in the election highlight the challenges and intricacies of the democratic exercise, with the eyes of the nation and the international community keenly observing the outcomes in the coming hours.
