The 2024 Pakistan General Elections were marked by delays, violence, and allegations of electoral misconduct. The results of the elections were delayed due to technical issues and communication blackouts.

The main contenders in the elections were the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

According to early results, independent candidates backed by Imran Khan's PTI party emerged as the frontrunners, leading in polls with 55 seats. This was seen as a surprise as PTI had not fielded its own candidates in many constituencies.

However, Nawaz Sharif's PML-N party fared well in some areas, with Shehbaz Sharif winning with a significant margin in Lahore.

Nawaz Sharif himself lost in the Mansehra constituency against a PTI-backed independent candidate named Gustasap Khan.

There were concerns over the transparency and fairness of the elections, with allegations of violence and rigging. Several attacks took place on election day, leaving at least nine people dead. Moreover, there were complaints of electoral misconduct, including ballot stuffing and voter intimidation.

Overall, while early results showed PTI-backed independent candidates gaining ground, the full picture of the election results was yet to be determined due to delays in the counting process. [https://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistan-election-results-
