As they say
pakistaani army never won a war
and never lost an election

[nnkk]

This is hilarious. Imagine the election being so overwhelming that you can't properly rig it.

[PoliticalEconomyPK]

One thing that can't be said enough but you just said it in passing is that Pakistani military's popularity is waning. In fact it's not just waning but it's at unprecedentedly low levels. Removing khan from power was one thing, but the previous army chief's corruption which was uncovered by Fact Focus (a pakistani investigative journalist group) didn't quite help either, it turns out he had amassed billions in his family's name. The public is sick of their constant meddling in politics and wants them to finally just retreat to their barracks.

[wajhieimtiyaz]

A really important and glaring point missed.
Khans independents won 180 seats, of which 85 were awarded to his opponents by the army controlled election commission

[wile]

Kahn showing trump he can run from jail if he puts his mind to it lol

[xijinpig]

Army is definitely seen as the most oppressive lol, i think that poll was conducted only among army personnel 😂

[i.cyarrell]

Ah yes, almost all countries have armies, but only a few armies in the world have countries

[parthsharma]

I am an Indian, but Imran definitely attained legend status in my eyes by pulling off this victory

[glasgowblackchigowski]

Imran khan is just a legend at this point for being this loved by the people, i hope pakistan thrives and stabilizes, their people are incredibly kind and friendly.

[zarakzia]

Aside from being decently accurate video, this election is definitely one of the most memorable one of my life.
Let's hope our country is allowed to heal although that is going to be quite a challenge.

[wahab]

Good sum up! As a Pakistani I can vouch for the information provided in this video... (They tried to sum up a very complex issue in 10 minutes)

[triceratops]

If Khan was in Russia or Iran, he would be a hero for democracy we must go to war to protect.But because the army is friendly with the west, suddenly they're not so bad😂

[alrightymedia]

I am an Indian, and I hope and wish the Pakistan a good recovery, their people deserve a good living.

[wrmblood]

Thus entire election is the most pure expression of "umad bro?" I've ever seen

[napoleonfeanor]

You can run for multiple seats, that's wild

[kandarptakawale]

Regardless of any government, the county's economy will continue to suck.

[TheGbelcher]

I’m impressed the Army allowed the fair counting of votes.

[we-the-pantomath]

3:54 I like how you completely ignored the part where the army general did that under the influence and money of USA because despite of the so much hate Pakistanis have for the USA, it still has a massive control over the army because of corrupt army officers and Imran Khan constantly called out this Pakistani Army-US nexus in public while he was prime minister.

[joshnicholson]

This country will never not be in crisis. Unless people become educated, it seems that is their problem.

[srbtlevse]

It's embarassing how an army that lost every major war they were in thinks they should be the ones in power.
