As the votes are being counted, the outcome of the election will determine the direction of Pakistan’s political future and the leadership that will guide the country in the coming years.
Due to concerns about safety and security, internet services have been temporarily shut down throughout Pakistan. Reports indicate that nine individuals lost their lives due to violence related to the elections.
Voting commenced at 8 am yesterday and lasted until 5 pm. Once polling concluded, the process of counting the votes began. Initial indications suggest that candidates supporting former Chief Minister Imran Khan are leading in many areas.
The decision to suspend internet services aims to prevent the spread of misinformation and maintain order during a critical time in the electoral process. Unfortunately, incidents of violence have marred the otherwise peaceful voting process.
As the counting of votes progresses, it remains to be seen which candidates will emerge victorious in the parliamentary elections. The outcome will have significant implications for the future direction of Pakistan’s governance and leadership.
The results of the 2024 general elections in Pakistan are starting to come in, with reports suggesting that candidates supporting former Prime Minister Imran Khan are leading in most constituencies. However, the Election Commission of Pakistan has yet to make an official announcement.

According to unofficial sources, candidates from Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. (PTI) and independent candidates backed by the party are currently leading in 154 constituencies out of the total 336 parliamentary seats.
Other major parties such as the Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz are also making headway, with each leading in 47 seats. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement is ahead in four constituencies.
Imran Khan’s party faced challenges during the election, including the cancellation of its symbol by the Election Commission while he was in jail. Despite these obstacles, the fact that PTI candidates are leading in numerous constituencies has sparked discussions within Pakistani politics.
