Supporters of Imran Khan's PTI party protest against alleged rigging in general elections in Peshawar

Ali Amin Gandapur, the nominated Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, is holding a portrait of Pakistan's former prime minister, Imran Khan, during a protest against the alleged manipulation of Pakistan's national election results in Peshawar, Pakistan, on February 17, 2024. A high-ranking Pakistani bureaucrat is claiming that he assisted in rigging the country's elections, a statement made a week after the polls, which were tainted by allegations of manipulation, failed to produce a definitive winner. The commissioner of Rawalpindi, a garrison city where the country's influential military is headquartered, is stating that he personally oversaw the rigging before resigning from his position.
