"Imran Khan's Jailhouse Election Battle and Pakistan's Clouded Polls"
TL;DR Summary
Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is using innovative digital tactics, including virtual rallies and AI-generated speeches, to campaign for the upcoming elections while facing a crackdown and restrictions from state institutions. With Khan in jail and the party banned from using its symbol, PTI has turned to guerrilla tactics, such as setting up an online portal to help voters identify their candidates. The party's tech-savvy approach contrasts with traditional methods used by other political parties, and aims to engage younger voters through platforms like TikTok and WhatsApp.
