Today is a big day in Pakistan as the country goes to vote. In 2018, PTI won and formed the government. This time, the party is fielding its candidates as independents.
The internet is buzzing as unofficial election results show independents in a tight race, and even leading in many constituencies. The competition is so close that nobody knows who will win yet. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the final results.
Here are some reactions on social media:
Latest picture of PMLN leadership.. They are not looking too hopeful.. Independents are leading by big number but unconfirmed results are only around 10 percent or less so far.. will the same trend continue is yet to be seen pic.twitter.com/nk7HQRckdt

There are two choices for them. Rig the shit out of this election. Or play the long game of threatening and forcing the PTI independents after the results and try to technically KO PTI. Either way, they have been thoroughly cornered.

The fact that results from most seats show PTI independents in the lead or some PMLN/PPP leaders winning only by a thin margin, despite the symbol issue, leader in jail, the crackdown & abductions, shows the people have already won. Regardless of the final outcome.

What a fight!
WHOAH! Independents i.e. PTI in lead despite massive pre poll rigging in Pakistan. Now post poll rigging going on with reports of media being blocked from reporting results & returning officers disappearing from the scene. Seems like pindiboys are going to fine-tune final count. pic.twitter.com/umOJ2t2FPY
