Yes PTI has won around 154 to 200 seats of national assembly but right now the police and army had occupied surrounding of polling regional offices where all the records come before announcement and dragged out the media and polling agent which unethical 😢😢 i hope the choice of people of Pakistan is respected and not being managed

This can either make Pakistan or break Pakistan (just like 71). They have to accept the results of this election without rigging and be ready for prosecution against human rights.

They can’t accept defeat, they are partners in crime!

[@ammarahsajid2457]

There has clearly been rigging. I went to cast my vote yesterday and somebody had already put in a vote on my behalf. However there were no thumbprints so they let me cast again. Also, the results have been delayed and even though many PTI candidates were winning last night the results took a 360 turn by this morning.

[@syedanoorussaba2484]

It happened with me and my vote was casted on pti candidate 😂 lol

[@user-ql7kt6me1p]

The turnout was around 70 %. Results have been slowed down. We, as Pakistani believe the results to be manipulated.

[@FarhadNadir-gw2gh]

The Pakistani army is doing the same thing that was done with Sheikh Mujib Rahman and what Bajwa did in 2018, depriving the PTI of 40 to 50 seats through rigging. The establishment, Election Commission, and General Qazi Dalal are brokers for the Sharif family who want to deprive the PTI of a two-thirds majority and nothing else. General Asim Munir paid his due as a broker to the Sharif family. These are not truly free elections because if they were, the PML-N would not have more than 30 seats and the PPP would not have more than 20. General Asim Munir used his power and all the machinery of the caretaker government to help rig the elections and defeat the PTI candidates through force and corruption. Except for a revolution, this corruption will not be corrected by the establishment.

[@drphilgreen]

Shame on pdm and neutrals!

[@AbdulRehman-fn4nk]

Only shame on Asim Munir, Bajwa, Faisal Naseer, Nadeem Anjum. Name the corrupt officers and shame them. Make them famous.

[@FarwahKhan650]

The delay in the results is horrific. Nobody is here to question the ECP that what are the results? Why is the delay? The question on the legitimacy of the results is inevitable. How they can delay the results for 14 to 15 hours? Who will trust this system? They are threatening the enthusiasm and support of people of the state.

[@Lifelines7204]

After all the rigging,lawlessness they still failed to reduce the gap between PTi backed candidates and rest of parties.I believe the results currently shown are being engineered to defeat PTI.Clearly Imran khan won against system and people of Pakistan won,still hope of thriving in Democratic country.

Imran Khan's party is leading in the election, the attested form "45" of the polling station votes are also with the successful candidates, the global media is also covering it, but even after 14 hours, the result is not being given, let it be clear. That from 11:00 pm to 8:00 am, the returning officers of the Election Commission under the pressure of the establishment withheld the result and now after a big rigging, the result will be released in favor of Nawaz Sharif.

Following are the options 1 . Wth PTI leading, Asif Munir is big trouble. 2. If PTI wins then declare the result genuinely and allow PTI workers elect new leader for the time being and later release KHAN and make him the PM. This is what people of Pakistan voted for (best option) 3. If Asim Munir wants to save his chair, then impose martial law and rule the country against the wishes of Pakistani people 4. Change the election result in favour of PMLN and Nawaz sheriff will be the PM (Likely to happen) 5. Try to break the independents by threatening them and make them join PMLN. (Not a best option) 6. Asif Munir recently said addressing students when one student asked them why army interferes in the govt, his reply was if anybody wants to break the country then they will step in. So now the people mandate will be taken as breaking the country and will he impose martial law ? He needs software update for himself I guess.

No. It is not surprising. Remember the fighting Vietcong soldiers. When people rise up No power canstop it from achieving its goal. How much poison Media may pour people will make out what is wrong and what is RIGHT. As an Indian Iam happy that democracy is somehow coming back in Pakistan . Imran Khan is a leader of whole Pakistan not a leader of Punjab , or Balucistan etc.
