TL;DR Summary

Pakistanis are awaiting the results of the general and provincial elections, which were marred by an internet blackout and allegations of voting irregularities. The elections, with direct implications for Pakistan's global credibility, saw over 90,000 polling stations and more than 700,000 security personnel. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently in prison, was not on the ballot, with his party accusing the military of excluding him. Three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the Pakistan People's Party, led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, are also notable contenders. Results are expected in the coming days.
