It was completely fair and free elections and army was deployed to avoid possible india backed terrorists attacks. A European Union observers team termed the elections free and fair as well.

[rameezgujjar]

We casted the vote and army personnel did not influenced us in any way. They were for the security purpose only due to recent bomb attacks.

[eshanalimajid]

before talking do some research about his popularity in Pakistan
almost 75 % percent Pakistanis are not only supporters but also fans of him and they all voted him for change and bcoz of his struggles against curruption
Legend as a Leader

France 24 is a mature and resposible Channel. Don't make unrealistic analysis. Blatant lie about Pak Army. Shame

No rigging whatsoever. The constituencies were reopened, and still the result remained the same. The election commision is going to release the form 45 to the entire public rather than just giving it to the parties. If you want to rig the elections, you would want to rig them better as in, PTI could have rigged more seats to get clear majority, like how PMLN did in 2013. PTI got 116 seats out of 272 in 2018, PMLN got 64, while in 2013, PMLN got 126, you need 137 for clear majority, you also have to know that PPP, which is also a corrupt party had made a deal with PMLN. So, getting 126 seats and getting 40 seats from PPP is a done deal. The 2013 elections had no security, no verification by foreign boards, no pre election checking, and even after massive rigging allegations, only 4 constituencies were opened after 4 years while in comparison, Imran Khan opened more than a dozen in a day after winning. The funny part is, he isn't even PM officially. So, as a voter, I can assure you, no rigging happened.

Pakistanis like myself voted in droves for PTI because we wanted to break the status quo of PMLN and PPP. Maligning the mandate of the people by declaring that the elections were influenced by the army is immature of this commentator. Maybe he should have visited the country on election day instead of basing his analysis on Wikipedia pages and rants of some paid up journalists in the international media.

[lovinpeople]

Nah! Pak Army is always supposed to defend Pakistan, at any cost and whereever needed. Same here, to ensure safe & secured elections, Pakistan Army's special skills deployed and now what we see is that Rivals are weeping.

[laizarkhan]

no riggging it was totally fair and transparent election

[haiderjamal]

we elected him by our votes ... and we are glad we voted for him

[mhammad]

An Indian observer ex election commissioner of india also declared elections free and fair.

[huzaifahadeed]

There is no rigging, even european union staff said this is tha best and better election than 2013

[fzbio-information]

Hi,
Very unrealistic analysis, bcoz Pakistan is the country who is most effected by the terrerists, even the day of Election Bilochistan was under blood shed due to a bomb blast after being take security massures by the army, mean no body can true comment without knowing actual Dynamics regarding situation and blaming Pak Army. Pak Army have skills to deal terrerists and continue the social activities those are essential for Democracy.
Weldon Pakistan Army

Khan is the man of his words.
