Despite being jailed, threatened, banned from big rallies & even from using their election symbol 🏏
Imran Khan’s candidates managed to pull off a major upset
This is how they did it ⬇️
But w/ their rivals, backed by the army, attempting to form the govt, what happens next?
Who will take power in Pakistan?
Two sides are claiming victory in the election, including jailed former PM Imran Khan.
@SecKermani found out how his candidates campaigned while in prison, or on the run. 👇

The crackdown on Imran Khan’s party in Pakistan continues…
Ahmed is one of the international media’s main points of contact in the party. Here he is being “disappeared”
He had been promoting an upcoming parliamentary event in the UK discussing the repression faced by the PTI
CCTV footage of Ahmed Waqas Janjua’s enforced disappearance by persons in plainclothes and police officials. Ahmed was abducted at 4 AM from his home in Islamabad.
Our appeal to whole Judiciary is to not let Pakistan be a lawless land & take #SuoMotoAgainstAbductions
Protect Pakistan and its citizens from this criminal policy, which is causing daily suffering and pain for families.

Twitter blocked in Pakistan since the weekend, part of a crude attempt to dampen discussion of credible vote rigging allegations levelled by Imran Khan’s party
Trigger was a call for protests & statement by a fairly senior serving bureaucrat also alleging / confessing to rigging
There's no notice, announcement, or certainty by @PTAofficialpk around when the block will be lifted, which is creating a lot of uncertainty & an environment of disinformation, because people cannot access instant information with integrity. #TwitterDown geo.tv/latest/531870-twitter…

“Committed to combatting disinformation” but doesn’t realise I left the BBC a year and a half ago 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️
The quality of trolling has definitely deteriorated in Pakistan
@BBCNews needs to centre its reporting on Pakistan around facts and impartiality. Ceding disproportionate space to views of journalists like @FarhatJavedR, @Mobeen_Azhar, @SecKermani, & @Asif_Farooqi who are mouthpieces of #PTI and which itself is not sincere to the constitution and institutions of Pakistan will only controversialize its credibility. Time for BBC to fix its act!
