Pakistan Election Results: Strong Performance by Independents Tied to Jailed Imran Khan’s PTI – Latest Updates

In the initial tallies of the Pakistan election 2024, independent candidates associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s political party, were surpassing expectations on Friday. This was due to a protracted wait in the results, which compounded allegations of electoral crimes and manipulation.The PTI party led by Imran Khan was not allowed to run in the election together on Thursday; nonetheless, unofficial results released by local television networks indicated that independent candidates, some of whom were even endorsed by his party, were leading in the majority of the constituencies.

On election day, 266 seats are determined by direct voting, while 70 seats are reserved based on the relative strength of each party in Parliament. Voting in one seat in this year’s election was delayed because of a candidate’s passing. The party with the largest proportion of seats has the ability to create a coalition administration in the event that no party obtains an absolute majority.

Top updates on Pakistan election results 2024

  • Connectivity problems on Friday, the day after the vote characterized by intermittent violence, a mobile phone service outage, and the marginalization of former Imran Khan and his party, have delayed the announcement of the results of Pakistan’s elections.
  • Local media highlighted the successes of independent candidates supported by the PTI party after imprisoned Imran Khan was barred from running for office due to convictions for crimes he claims were motivated by politics.
  • Only 13 National Assembly results had been issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) by 9:00 am local time, more than 16 hours after voting places closed.
  • Four had gone to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), four to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), and five had gone to independent candidates associated with the PTI.
  • After the Election Commission and Supreme Court ruled that PTI candidates could not use the party’s “cricket bat” symbol, the candidates filed as independents.

  • Numerous Pakistani news outlets claimed that independent candidates supported by the PTI were winning dozens of constituencies and giving the major parties, headed by three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and political dynasty scion Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, a serious competition.
  • The media tallies were dubbed “probably the biggest election upset in Pakistan’s political history” by Senator Mushahid Hussain, a member of Sharif’s party, in the previous fifty years.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif left the nation in October of last year and returned after four years of self-imposed exile abroad in order to escape serving jail time. He dismissed suggestions that his Pakistan Muslim League party might not gain a clear majority in Parliament on election day, projecting confidence and defiance. But by evening, there were fewer people and no celebrations outside his headquarters, changing the atmosphere.

Yogi Adityanath Slams Congress with ‘Ram Droh’ Allegations Amid Radhika Khera’s Resignation

Yogi Adityanath Slams Congress with ‘Ram Droh’ Allegations Amid Radhika Khera’s Resignation

“Ram Droh in their DNA” is what Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, said the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and India bloc coalition harbored on Monday. In response to Congresswoman Radhika Khera’s departure from her party, Yogi Adityanath made a statement. He said that because she went to the temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya, the Congress had humiliated her. “The Congress leaders humiliated her when she traveled to Ayodhya to get Ram Lala’s blessings. When she could take no more of the insults, she resigned. This demonstrates the genetic ‘Ram droh’ that both Congress and the SP possess. “People connected to the INDI Alliance possess ‘Ram Droh’ in their genetic makeup,” he stated to ANI.

Yogi Adityanath declared that the nation’s voters will never support “Ram Drohi” candidates. “The nation’s populace is fully aware of Congress’s fictitious structure. The public is aware that the things Congress is currently flaunting are not grounded in reality. They just intend to mislead the populace, but their play is exposed. As a result, the general population is driving it in that direction,” Yogi Aditanath continued. Radhika Khera said on Sunday that the Congress party was opposed to Sanatan Dharma and Lord Ram.

She claimed that the Congress began to despise her when she went to the Ram Temple with her grandpa and erected a Jai Shri Ram banner in front of her home. Radhika Khera stated that she received criticism from the party for traveling to Ayodhya during the election season. She claimed that party leaders had mistreated her and quit the organization. She further said that she was not met by Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the matter. She stated that for more than three years, she had been attempting to contact both Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi. The top campaigner for the BJP is Yogi Adityanath. He declared during rallies last month that the Congress intended to bring Sharia rule to the nation and let minorities butcher cows.

Pakistan Not Wearing Bangles: Farooq Abdullah’s Response to Rajnath’s PoK Remark Draws Criticism

Farooq Abdullah, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, fell out of favor when he continued to deny wearing bangles and threatened to launch atomic bombs on India in response to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement that the province of PoK would become part of India. “Go ahead and do it if the minister of defense says so. Who are we to put an end to? But keep in mind that Pakistan is not wearing bangles either. The head of the National Conference, Abdullah, stated, “Unfortunately, it has atom bombs, and that atom bomb will fall on us.”

Omar Abdullah, the son of Abdullah, stated that no one is preventing the BJP from uniting the PoK with India and that they must first address all of the issues facing the J&K area. “Who has managed to stop them? With us, to stop you? However, they must first address every issue the area has with them,” he remarked.

The BJP reacts to Farooq’s recall.

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi responded to Farooq’s statement by saying that the INDI alliance bears a Pakistani imprint. “I’m drawing your attention to a startling political declaration in India today. Per Farooq Abdullah, Pakistan possesses an atomic weapon. This is the case in several cases. Maharashtra’s Congress LOP released a statement instead of offering Pakistan cover fire. You are questioning the Indian military just to garner a few votes, he remarked.

The INDI alliance has a Pakistani stamp. They are both telling everyone, “Mile sur mera tumhara.” The past seven days saw this occur. This is too much of a coincidence. This is Pakistan’s and the Indian Alliance’s strategic plan of action. They’re engaged in really risky behavior, he declared. Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) National General Secretary Malook Nagar expressed regret that citizens of the nation would make such remarks. Farooq Abdullah and his son, Omar Abdullah, sounded like Pakistanis during their interviews while Article 370 was still in effect. They ought to feel guilty. Such individuals are not entitled to reside in this nation.

Radhika Khera’s Shocking Allegations Against Congress Leaders: Locked, Abused, Manhandled After Leaving Party

Radhika Khera said on Monday, one day after leaving the Congress, that several of her former party officials had physically and verbally harassed her in the state Congress headquarters in Chhattisgarh and had confined her in a room. On Sunday, Khera announced her resignation from the party, citing that she had been denied justice in the event due to criticism of her visit to the Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya. At a news conference today, she said that Congress has been under assault against her ever since she placed Lord Ram’s banner at my house. Is it improper to discuss your religion? I was occasionally getting insulted. “They knocked on my doors late at night in a drunken state when media chairman Sushil Gupta offered me alcohol during Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay Yatra in Chhattisgarh,” the woman recalled.

“I went to speak with Sushil Anand Shukla at the state congress office on the 30th evening, and he yelled at me and mistreated me.” They imprisoned me inside while he and the other two state spokespeople mistreated me. When I yelled, the door remained closed. I was treated roughly. I even protested to Congressman Mahamantri, but nobody would listen,” she continued. For the current Lok Saha elections, Khera was dispatched by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) from Delhi to serve as the state’s coordinator of communication and media for Chhattisgarh.

Significantly, party sources stated that on April 30 at the Raipur party headquarters, Khera and Sushil Anand Shukla, the chairwoman of the Chhattisgarh Congress’ communication wing, got into a heated debate about senior politician Pawan Khera’s scheduled visit the next day. Khera was seen complaining about being humiliated in a video that went viral, allegedly of her. As Khera noted in her letter of resignation, there has always been hostility toward religious backing, a well-established reality from ancient times. “From Ravana and Kansa to Hiranyakashyap, examples of this can be found.” Some people are currently against individuals who use Lord Shri Ram’s name in the same manner, she continued.
