Khan officially crowned winner – The losers announce mbadive doubts
I n Pakistan is a fierce conflict over Wednesday's parliamentary elections. The election commission on Friday elected former cricket star Imran Khan. A party alliance expressed mbadive doubts about the results. Among other things, the defeatists of the PML-N government party have accused the Pakistani military manipulation. The party alliance called for new elections and announced protests.
According to the official election result, Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) won 114 seats in parliament in Islamabad and the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) only 63. The PTI needed 137 seats. She does not have a coalition partner yet. The surprisingly strong performance of Khan's party and the number of protracted votes raised doubts as to the legality of the election.
Most parties talked about electoral fraud. The PML-N, which has been in power since 2013, had already accused the army before the elections of manipulating the election in favor of Khan. "We will launch a new movement to organize the elections and there will be demonstrations," said Maulana Fazalur Rehmen, leader of the Islamic party JUI-F, on behalf of an alliance of more than a dozen gone.
PML-N Chief Shahbaz Sharif, brother of former head of government Nawaz Sharif, pledged his support for the protest party alliance. However, he still had to consult with his party to see if the elected members would boycott their swearing. He said that there were "worse" and "unprecedented" irregularities about the elections.
The Bilawal Bhutto Zardari People's Party of Pakistan (PPP) won 43 seats and, according to experts from a coalition government PTI, could provide Get a majority. Zardari also rejected the election result, but did not join the protest alliance.
However, the ITP did not sign an alliance with the PPP. He is already in contact with independent deputies from Punjab province, the traditional stronghold of the previous ruling party, the PML-N.
Khan rejects allegations of manipulation: the elections were "the most fair and transparent" in Pakistani history. His victory had already claimed the 65-year-old on Thursday. Khan, who led the Pakistani cricket team at the World Cup in 1992, entered politics 22 years ago. Opponents claim to be close to Islamists.
The election commission also resisted the allegations. The delays in the counting of votes would have technical reasons. It does not matter, "these elections were fair and transparent". An independent group of election observers, the Network of Free and Fair Elections (FAUN), said that "the extent of procedural irregularities during the elections" was "relatively weak".
EU election observers, however, worried about the lack of equal opportunities "and a deterioration compared to 2013." We share the concerns expressed by the EU Election Observation Mission, "said the Foreign Ministry in Berlin, but Germany is ready to cooperate closely and confidently with the new Pakistani Government
