General Elections 2024 results delayed for around 24 hours

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) faces criticism for the delayed announcement of elections 2024 results, prompting stern warnings to provincial officials to expedite the process or face consequences.

As of now, official results for the majority of National Assembly and provincial assembly seats remain pending, with unofficial results suggesting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) backed independent candidates leading in many constituencies.

The Interior Ministry attributes the delay to necessary security measures, emphasizing the importance of ensuring foolproof security amidst recent militant attacks.

Despite assurances from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) regarding uninterrupted internet services, users across Pakistan experience outages.

The Interior Ministry, while deeming the current security situation satisfactory, highlights the loss of lives in recent attacks, underscoring the need for stringent security measures.

Security concerns are cited as the primary justification for both the delayed election results and internet disruptions. Meanwhile, the public anxiously awaits the official announcement of election outcomes, amid ongoing security challenges across the country.
