"Pakistan: Imran Khan's party to challenge rejection of nomination papers for 2024 polls today"

Imran Khan's nomination papers were rejected "on moral grounds"

Who do they think he is ?
Donald Trump ?

I like how your comments gradually went from this:

Turnout is 40%-45%.  No pro-PTI youth surge.  PML(N) should win and be able to form a government by buying off various smaller parties.

To this:

PML(N) seems to have canceled their victory party.

In an election entirely predictable if it where held free and fair, with a pasting of their current unpopular dictatorship.

Well, even with PTI outperformance the original narrative is the same: PML(N) buys off various parties and some PTI defectors to form government.  It will be very unstable and unpopular and I suspect a snap election will be needed at some stage which might set the stage for some Khan comeback.

Oh come on, stop pretending Pakistan is a democracy and not a dictatorship.
