Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan will not be able to hold office, however.
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan police fired tear gas to disperse supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Feb 11 after his party urged protests outside election offices where they said rigging had taken place in last week’s national vote.
Independent candidates – most linked to Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party – took the most seats in the polls, scuppering the chances of the army-backed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz to win a ruling majority. “Throughout Pakistan, the elections were manipulated in a subtle way,” PTI chairman Gohar Ali Khan told a press conference on Feb 10, calling on supporters to “protest peacefully” on Feb 11.
“Legal action will be taken against unlawful assemblies. It should be noted that soliciting for gatherings is also a crime.” Another gathering of around 200 PTI supporters in Lahore dispersed quickly when police moved in with riot shields and batons. Final results were announced on Feb 11, with independents winning 101 seats, PML-N taking 75, the Pakistan Peoples Party at 54 and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement with 17.“The results have clearly indicated that no single party possesses a simple majority to establish a government,” said political analyst and author Zahid Hussain.Still, PTI leaders insist they have been given a “people’s mandate” to form the next government.
