Tomorrow, Peshawar is set to witness a protest led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), alleging rigging in the 2024 elections. Ali Amin Gandapur, PTI’s candidate for Chief Minister KP, spearheads the movement, accusing the Returning Officer and DC Peshawar Afaq Wazir of election malpractice. The protest, slated to take place at Ring Road Gulistan Park, underscores the growing discontent among political stakeholders over the election results.
Amidst the political turmoil, GDA Chief Pir Sadaruddin Shah Rashidi rejects the 2024 election outcomes and announces a peaceful sit-in scheduled for February 16 at Hyderabad Bypass. The elections, marked by a lack of a clear majority, saw independent candidates backed by a jailed former Prime Minister securing a significant number of seats, triggering uncertainty over Pakistan’s political future.
With major parties failing to secure a majority, efforts are underway to form alliances and secure the requisite seats in the 336-member lower house. PTI-backed independent candidates dominate in the National and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assemblies, further complicating the political landscape.
As rigging allegations continue to reverberate, Pakistani citizens express concerns over the integrity of the democratic process. PTI’s decision to protest reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the election outcomes, with calls for accountability and fair elections resonating among political observers.
Against a backdrop of political instability, parties vie for power in a fractured landscape, highlighting the urgent need for electoral transparency and a resolution to the ongoing political impasse.
