Independent candidates affiliated with Imran Khan\'s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party secured the most seats in the official Pakistan election results, with the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz party (PMLN) coming in second and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in third. However, multiple candidates from various parties have moved to high courts to challenge the results, alleging rigging and demanding recounts of votes. The PTI party has called on party workers and supporters to hold protests outside polling offices in constituencies where they claim election results were withheld and delayed.
