Pakistan’s Election Commission notified the victories of three PML-N candidates in Islamabad, dealing a blow to Imran Khan’s PTI party, which had challenged the original results. The Election Commission restored the order suspended by the Islamabad High Court, announcing the success of the PML-N candidates. The PTI-backed losing candidates had alleged manipulation of results, leading to a legal battle.
PML-N’s Chaudhry criticized PTI for creating controversy and accused them of fraudulent activities. The PML-N and PPP have agreed on a power-sharing deal to form a new coalition government, diminishing Khan’s chances of returning to power. This development marks a setback for Khan’s PTI amid ongoing political instability in Pakistan.
