Close Contest in Pakistan Amid Election Crackdown

[@MohammadHasnainPK]

Pakistan army never won a war , but they always win elections.

No where close...imran khans candidates did a remarkable feat by trying to stick with winning at the ballot despite all the resistance and oppressionthey faced... I have been following DN for over 20 years now and if I live long enough, hopefully another 20 years... but this Narmeen lady really does a hugh disservice for DN coverage of Pakistan. I really wish they would provide better balanced coverage of Pakistan

[@razakmanify]

Rigged Elections!!....Imran Khan clearly won! The only honest leader of Pakistan 🇵🇰 wanting the best for the country of which the majority are poor 90% of the country are voting for Imran Khan but the military are tampering with the results hence the delay in the results! Civilians with Camera phones have recorded the Army red handed tampering with poll electrol boxes! Many videos circulating all over social media! Pakistani tv too gutless to mention anything against the establishment (Army Generals) so the Truth is always on underground news (social media). Hence why the internet was blocked during elections! Corrupt Army Generals (Asim Munir) & Corrupt Politicians (Nawaz Sharif, Zardari) out to Loot & Steal from the Country again with only Imran Khan standing in their way! Imran Khan is wrongfully in jail on bogus charges.All Pakistani tv news channels barred for even mentioning Imran khan's name.. that's how scared & insecure the Establishment is! Good (Imran Khan) will always win in the end inshAllah 🤲

[@notafrah]

Im 18. This was my first vote. Stood in the line for hours only for my vote to be thrashed out in the bin by the establishment. We deserve better than this💔

[@halfpakichick]

Well done for voting!! ❤️🇵🇰

[@theredboneking]

Waste of time. Leaders are selected, not elected. You are just giving them your consent. If a selected leader decides to go to war, he or she will say that they are representing their constituents.

[@chrisortiz8072]

​@BeNiceNoNeedToControlOtherss Yes but that just proves they need a change. If you have the same people in power with the same old mindset nothing will improve. In America we have an old man named trump with a degrading mind trying to turn us into Pakistan. He wants to rule the same way. The old corrupted rich will always try to control the fate of the young expanding minds.

[@FaridaKhan-g6t]

People are definitely with Imran Khan and PTI but what's going on is not hidden from anyone. Namaz didn't even win the single seat from his own wing. People showed the courage but the results are obviously different.

[@rafiqdiwan2358]

Alia Amirali seems to be out of touch. Currently, the candidates for PTI are not electables nor elites. They are part of the movement to support democracy and Imran Khan.

[@MAli-yv6rv]

She evaded every question.

[@InformedNewYorker]

All electable and elite left Khan on the pressure of the fascist military. Alia seems to be living a decade behind.

[@ShannonL-sx9zk]

Yes...DN coverage of Pakistan, under Ms. Narmeen Shiekh, has been unfortunately consistently subpar... she is a very capable lady but definitely needs to get more resources to be able adequately cover this history making time in Pakistan... making little progress though with bringing in Ms. Munizae Jahngir who was able to provide better up to date light

[@irfana00]

Totally agree. She kept talking about the 1970s and Bangladesh. We know her message. I found Jahanghir much more understandable. It is so difficult for ordinary people to vote, and yet they showed up, despite every obstacle put before them. Shame on the Pakistan military and shame on the US for orchestrating Imran Khan's takedown.

[@sunnyjatt247]

All of the 10 points you have mentioned are now being set to okay in terrorist leaning hindutva India. India set itself on a different track than Pakistan under the premium guidance of Nehru. India as we know now is a child of Nehrus vision. But the spoilt brats of hindutva zealotry are now hell bent on looting Indias and destroying all the progress made in the many decades post independence. So, fk you for your candor which essentially spoke from within the mask of hindutva.

Imran khan backed independent candidates have been won 100 seats in national assembly. While Election Commission of Pakistan and Pakistan army continuously trying to rig the election. More then 32 hours have been passed but the complete election results are not announced till now. Till yesterday, Imran khan candidates was taking lead on more then 140+ seats, had simple majority which is on 134 seats,. But after that election results are stopped. And then news come out that Imran khan candidates, who are taking lead on their seats, have lost their seats. This rigging of election is continue till now, and election results are not completely announced..
