Pakistan elections

People on the street say they don't believe things will be different after this election.

The conviction of the popular former prime minister -- the third since 2022 -- comes a week ahead of parliamentary elections.

Although these parties may not win many seats -- they have not formed an alliance and lack the support of the military establishment -- they could still play a role post-February 8.

The upcoming elections in Pakistan are much more than a routine political event. They are a decisive moment for the nation's future.

The party failed to provide sufficient evidence that it had conducted intra-party elections as mandated by the Election Commission, the apex court said.

In a bid to broaden their support, they are not limiting themselves to religious appeals but discussing political and economic issues too.

It signals a fair level of confidence in upcoming elections being fair and inclusive, and that he will be treated fairly by the courts.

President Arif Alvi, who is close to the former prime minister’s party, has acted unconstitutionally by proposing election dates.

Since elections are unlikely to be held as constitutionally mandated within 90 days, the interim administration is here to stay for some time.

There is uncertainty over the election date even as the legal and political drama surrounding jailed ex-PM Imran Khan deepens.

Elections are looming. There is a risk of politicians forgetting their commitments to the IMF.
