Based on the results of the general election of Pakistan that have been made public so far, Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, which is headed by the imprisoned former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, is ahead.
The general election of Pakistan took place on Thursday (8) and presently the vote-counting process nears end.
There are also accusations of a sluggish result releasing process, according to some foreign media.
They further report that former Prime Minister Khan’s party members have entered the general election this year as independent candidates in view of oppressions on the party.
As a result, the PTI party has gained 99 seats out of the 266 seats in the Pakistan National Assembly, according to the most recent figures.
Presently, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Party, led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Khan’s main rival, has secured 71 seats while the Pakistan People’s Party has earned 34 seats.
