delivers AI generated ‘victory’ speech from jail
Islamabad Claiming two-thirds majority in the Pakistan general elections, PTI founder Imran Khan, who is currently lodged in Adiala jail, delivered an AI generated “victory” speech.
On X, the former prime minister said: “Dear Pakistanis. You have laid the foundation of azadi (freedom) by casting vote. I congratulate you all for winning 2024 polls. London plan has been foiled. Before rigging we were winning on 150 plus National Assembly seats. Now, as perform 45, we are winning on more than 170 seats.”
“Nobody is gonna believe Nawaz Sharif who delivered victory speech despite trailing on 30 seats. International media is also writing about the issue.
In fact no party has emerged as a clear victor from the divisive elections in Pakistan as the vote-counting process neared completion indicating that the political stability for the cash-strapped country may still be a distant dream.
The general elections were held on Thursday and the counting began soon after the polling ended at 5 pm with the hope that the majority of 265 contested seats would be available by Friday morning.
counting in 250 seats completed
According to the Election Commission of Pakistan, so far, the counting in 250 seats of the National Assembly has been completed and the independent candidates, a vast majority of them backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, were on the top with 99 seats.
The group was followed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) with 71 seats, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) with 53, Muttahida Qaumi Movement with 17 and other seats going to smaller parties.
Though elected with the support of Khan’s party, the independents can join any party, which is a potential source of instability, as they can also switch loyalties in future.
The PML-N’s chief Nawaz Sharif on Friday evening announced that he was beginning consultations to form a kind of unity government but it may take several days before the shape of a future set-up comes up.
PPP wants Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to be PM
The PPP of former president Asif Ali Zardari already announced during elections that his young son and party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would be the candidate for the prime minister’s post, whereas Sharif is keen to become the premier for the record fourth time.
The PTI leadership is going to begin internal consultations to decide which party its supported elected representative should join.
They may join a smaller party which would become the largest party to counter Sharif’s claim that PML-N was the largest and had the right to form the government.
