Following the landslide victory of Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in the general elections of 2024, chaos has descended upon the capital city of Islamabad. The Election Commission ordered a curfew amid escalating tensions sparked by discrepancies in the announced election results.
Despite PTI securing all three seats in Islamabad, discrepancies arose when the official Form 47, prepared by the Returning Officer (RO), showed results favoring a different candidate. This stark contrast to the Form 45, signed and declared by the presiding officer, has plunged the nation into turmoil.
With two days passing since the election, the Election Commission’s failure to release the full and accurate results has fueled outrage among the populace. International media outlets, including Al Jazeera, have highlighted the perceived unfairness of the electoral process, with allegations of military influence casting a shadow over the legitimacy of the elections.
As tensions continue to mount and frustration reaches its zenith, the nation stands on the brink of widespread anger and discontent. The unfolding events have raised questions about the integrity of the electoral process and the future stability of Pakistan.
