Browsing: Imran Khan
Pakistan’s second and third political groups have agreed to collaborate following elections where imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s backers secured the lead.
The PMLN led by ex-PM Nawaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s PPP released a statement announcing their intention to work together to establish political stability.
If they succeed in forming a government, it’s likely to provoke anger among Khan’s supporters.
Khan’s PTI party was disqualified from participating in the election, leading many of its candidates to run as independents.
Earlier, police dispersed a crowd of Khan’s supporters in Rawalpindi using tear gas.
Votes are currently being counted following yesterday’s general election in Pakistan, which was marred by the suspension of mobile phone and internet services and violent unrest. Many analysts consider this to be among Pakistan’s least credible elections, and the release of results has been notably sluggish compared to previous votes.
While calls and data services are suspended, WiFi appears to remain operational. The country remains on high alert and polling stations across Pakistan are being heavily guarded.
