Some of the comments received on the Open Letter to CJP Bandial are incredibly moving and emotional. Imagine the impact comments like this can have! Ordinary Pakistanis never cease to amaze me 💚
Informed by local “experts”, one of the narratives used by Western media to explain Pakistani politics is that the 2018 election was gifted to Imran Khan’s PTI by the military.
However, this is false and misleading in light of election data, opinion & exit polls.

First, let’s look at results since democratic elections returned in 2008. An examination of voting patterns shows that winning parties received a similar percentage of overall votes in Pakistan’s first-past-the-poll system. However, PTI’s seats-to-vote ratio was much lower. 2/n
The above results show that PTI had to win much higher votes for each seat won. If the results were to be tilted in their favour, they would have won 140 seats at the ratio of 0.83 seats per 100,000 votes as PPP and PMLN did in the preceding 2 elections.

The mysterious manipulation of voter lists (electoral rolls) by Election Commission of 🇵🇰.
On 28th March, ECP published new voter lists with 125.6 million voters. However, this has major differences compared to the "final electoral lists" published in October.

First, the ECP had published "Final Electoral Lists" for the next General Elections in Oct 2022 after an exercise of more than a year. In those lists, the number of voters were only 122.2 million, 4.6 million less than the "revised" lists published on 28th March. 2/n
I wrote a thread about this back then, showing how they excluded mostly young voters between 18-25 and had failed to perform their duty in bridging the gap between male and female voters. In particular, 9 million young women remained unregistered 3/n
It’s become necessary to start a podcast where these jokers are challenged and alternate views are presented. 380,000 views where this clown sat and said that whoever isn’t trying to be friends with Modi is an enemy of Pakistan and recommended books by Ayesha Siddiqi and Haqqani
This is in ideation phase. I know a few people offered to help before but if you drop me a DM I will definitely set something up for this week to discuss. I think I already have a host in mind

Here is a link to the facebook post from which was shared. I think, but can't confirm, that the comments on this photo are also being managed.
CNN's @SophiaSaifi is either woefully misinformed or working on an agenda. In her feature length article she fails to mention KP and Punjab elections, which are due on 12 and 18 April as per the constitution, and which the govt. has failed to hold, disenfranchising 140m people
Pakistan's govt. and Election Commission are unconstitutionally blocking elections in Punjab and KP provinces beyond the 90 day limit set out in Article 224(2) of the constitution.
On the 14th and 18th of January, the provincial assemblies of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces in Pakistan were dissolved by the Chief Ministers under Art. 112 of the constitution.
Articles 224(2) mandates that elections within 90 days of dissolution of provincial assemblies. This was reiterated by a decision of the Supreme Court (SC), which directed that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is bound to hold elections within the stipulated time limit.
