In a rather controversial election, multiple political leaders of Pakistan have claimed victory after a fractured victory. Earlier Nawaz Sharif gave a victory speech even before the results were announced on account of being the largest party. As the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were barred from contesting the election, many of its leaders fought as independent candidates and emerged victorious. 

Despite being put behind bars, PTI released an AI-generated audio clip of Imran Khan as the result was declared. “My beloved countrymen. By turning out in such huge numbers and exercising your democratic right of franchise, you have laid the foundation for the restoration of the freedom to exercise citizens’ rights. I congratulate you all on helping us win the elections handsomely. I had full faith in your turning out in such large numbers to cast your ballots. You lived up to my trust and the massive turnout on election day surprised many. The ‘London Plan’ because of your active participation in the democratic exercise. Nawaz Sharif is a leader of low intelligence who gave a victory speech despite his party trailing in 30 seats,” he said. 

Despite Imran Khan-backed-independent candidates leading the polls, allegations of military interference and poll rigging have been making rounds. “The nation needs stable hands and a healing touch to move on from the politics of anarchy and polarisation, which does not suit a progressive country of 250 million people. Elections are not a zero-sum competition of winning and losing but an exercise to determine the mandate of the people. Political leadership and their workers should rise above self-interests and synergise efforts in governing and serving the people, which is perhaps the only way to make democracy functional and purposeful,” General Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff stated.
