Independent candidates affiliated with jailed ex-leader Imran Khan's party won the most seats in Pakistan's general election, leading to a surprise victory in a vote marked by slow counting and rigging allegations. None of the major parties secured enough seats to form a government, leaving the next prime minister uncertain. Violent protests erupted over vote rigging allegations, resulting in casualties. The election was seen as a referendum on the military's role in politics, with foreign governments expressing concerns about interference. Imran Khan, who remains imprisoned, accused the military of orchestrating his removal from office.
