Supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, have mobilized across the country to protest the delayed announcement of Thursday’s parliamentary election results. Road blockades and demonstrations have erupted as frustration mounts over the prolonged wait for official outcomes. Initially, independent candidates supported by PTI held leads in early tallies.

The election has been marred by sporadic violence, allegations of a predetermined outcome, and the suspension of mobile phone services. Currently, results for 156 National Assembly seats have been declared, with PTI-backed candidates securing 59 seats. Final results are anticipated later today, but the situation remains tense amid concerns regarding the transparency and fairness of the electoral process.
