"Pakistan's Military Influence on Elections Under Scrutiny"
TL;DR Summary
As Pakistan prepares for its upcoming elections, the country's powerful military is reportedly intensifying efforts to sideline the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (P.T.I.) party, following the ousting of its leader, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in 2022. P.T.I. candidates have allegedly been detained, forced to denounce the party, and faced intimidation tactics, including arrests of their relatives and censorship of news coverage. This has led analysts to deem the upcoming vote as one of the least credible in the country's history.
