Pakistan’s national election experienced significant delays in the vote count, with the election commission urging polling officers to promptly release results, even ten hours after polls closed. The National Assembly has 336 seats, with 266 elected through direct voting and the remaining 70 reserved. Among the reserved seats, 60 are for women and 10 for non-Muslims, based on each party’s representation in the Assembly. To secure a majority, a minimum of 133 seats is required, but many analysts speculate that the election outcome might not yield a decisive winner. Sardar Muhammad Bakhsh Khan Mahar, representing the Pakistan People’s Party, won the PS-20 Ghotki constituency with 87,431 votes, as confirmed by the Election Commission of Pakistan. Zafar Iqbal, the special secretary at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), attributed the delay in results to an “internet issue.” Pakistan’s political landscape is primarily shaped by three major parties: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). The primary contests are anticipated between candidates supported by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the Pakistan Muslim League led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, reportedly backed by the influential military. In a social media post, Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party encouraged individuals to remove passwords from their personal WiFi networks to facilitate internet access for others. With the counting process persisting through the night, a clearer electoral landscape is expected to emerge by early Friday.
