The elections in Pakistan on February 8th, 2024, were relatively peaceful despite efforts by authorities to hinder voters, such as internet shutdowns and delayed polling. PTI-backed independent candidates consistently led across many constituencies, with the national assembly results showing a significant lead for them with 154 seats at 3:00 am. This lead was confirmed by various mainstream media outlets. However, as several constituencies approached the final result tabulation, the flow of result updates ceased, and reports surfaced indicating a delay in result announcements from polling stations. This period saw the emergence of numerous documented cases, revealing instances of result manipulation.
