Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party has declared it a black day for 2024, alleging rigging in the election results. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Information Secretary Rauf Hassan said that the year 2024 will be remembered as the biggest voter fraud in the history of Pakistan.

During a press conference in Islamabad, he said that according to our estimates, out of 177 seats that were supposed to be ours, only 92 were given to us, the remaining 85 seats were tampered with. He said that the party is taking constitutional and legal steps in this regard.

On the other hand, in view of the protest against manipulation of election results by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and other political parties, the police have imposed Section 144 in Islamabad.

It is worth noting that no party got a clear majority in Pakistan's elections last week, but independent candidates supporting the jailed Imran Khan won the highest number of 92 seats out of 264 seats.
