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 💚
I downloaded and saved videos and links of "live" transmissions on February 8th before the results were changed overnight. Please watch the videos, make short clips of specific results, and share in this thread those which haven't already been posted.

First up: Aaj TV
Full transmission of Suno News from Election night, which has proofs of many seats, for example, @RajaBasharatLAW comprehensive win on NA-55. Full video is 9 hours, but you can skip towards the later part to watch the results coming in.

Full election transmission of Hum News, showing many results such as PTI's win on NA 48, with a huge margin despite limited results which was later turned into a loss.
I'm re-sharing various tweets from the past few years on USAID and NED activities in Pakistan.
This is a comprehensive list (with receipts) of various actors who received US taxpayer $$ for "democracy" but actively worked to dismantle it.👇🧵
1. In 2024, the military controlled election commission of Pakistan held the worst election in the history of elections... and American taxpayers paid for it🤡🤡.
Probably the biggest waste of money in USAID history
2. @sherryrehman who sits on Pakistan's National Security Council and has held plenty of senior government positions, receives funding from a foreign government agency.
I have pinned this post which is a "thread" of my various "threads" about Pakistani politics over the last few years including accurately predicting PTI's 186 seats in the 2024 elections, significance of youth voters, and critiques of fake opinion polls & false reporting
🧵👇
1. I'll start with my first ever thread which I still believe was the most important one. After the regime change in April 2022, I became obsessed with the upcoming election. This thread highlighted the role of the "youth" vote in the next elections.
2. On the accidentally leaked Gallup poll in September whose data clearly showed PTI winning with a 2/3rd majority in the upcoming elections. Remember, the military banned opinion polls after May 9th but an employee of Geo group leaked this poll.
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.
Thread 🧵👇
1/n
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.
3/n
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.
Thread 👇 1/n
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
