Recent news from Pakistan has been dominated by political turmoil following inconclusive election results and allegations of rigging. Candidates aligned with former Prime Minister Imran Khan won the most seats in a surprise result, but no clear winner emerged, throwing the political system into chaos. This has led to parties forming alliances to seek a majority in the government, with Imran Khan's PTI party unable to form a government on its own. The situation escalated further when a senior official admitted to helping manipulate election results, sparking widespread allegations of rigging and protests by the opposition party. Pakistani police have warned against illegal gatherings after Imran Khan's party urged protests over the alleged election irregularities.
