Many seats were rigged.PTI candidates were leading by huge margins.Salman Abram Raja,Rehana Dar and Merhrbano Querishi lost due to rigging.There are many other seats too.ECP has not given an explanation why it took so long to announce results.

I watched Habib Akram on Suno tv.He said results of 30 seats were changed.The majority of seats belong to PMLN but include seats won by MQM,PPP,JUI-F and IPP.When he was doing surveys in different constituencies I ignored him believing that his surveys are not scientific or objective(like most surveys in Pakistan).I was wrong I think his predictions were close to actual results.

Karl Marx famously said that history repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce. Years from now, Pakistan’s 2024 election—which happens Thursday—will be looked back on as a grim reminder that history can be both tragedy and farce at the same time.
First, the farce. Pakistani officials are going out of their way to depict as wholly normal an election with a wildly distorted playing field, thanks to a relentless crackdown on former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his centrist Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, one of the largest and most popular in the country.
Authorities promise free, transparent, and peaceful elections. They’re hosting more than 100 foreign election observers and offering an “open door policy” for international election monitors. They speak of the 260 million ballot papers that have been printed—that’s 2,170 tons of paper for those keeping score at home—and delivered, by road and air, to the country’s 859 voting constituencies. “Now,” proclaimed Anwar ul Haq Kakar, head of the caretaker government charged with preparing the country for elections, on Tuesday, “it is the turn of the people of Pakistan to exercise their democratic right to vote.”
But the franchise of Pakistan’s 128 million eligible voters needs a big asterisk. The PTI isn’t banned, but court rulings have deprived the party of its cricket-bat electoral symbol, a major blow in a nation with a 40% percent illiteracy rate, and it can only field candidates as independents. Meanwhile, many top party leaders have been jailed, or pressured to switch parties or quit politics altogether. Others have gone underground. Khan has been imprisoned since August and was given three prison sentences, totaling 24 years, in the last week alone. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of PTI supporters have been jailed. Authorities have broken up street rallies they’ve tried to hold, and internet services have been disrupted when they convene activities online.
With PTI having been severely cut down to size, there’s little intrigue about the electoral outcome. The center-right Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is heavily favored to form the next government. But herein lies another aspect of the electoral farce. PML-N is led by Nawaz Sharif, a three-time former Prime Minister, and a top candidate to be Pakistan’s next premier. He’s also widely believed to be a preferred candidate of Pakistan’s powerful military. When Sharif, saddled with serious corruption charges, returned to Pakistan from four years of self-imposed exile in London last October, he magically avoided arrest and had many of his charges melt away. That can’t happen without military support.
But Sharif is no true friend of the military. Like many top Pakistani politicians, he rose to prominence with its backing, only to fall out with it multiple times during his previous periods in power. If the military pushes for Sharif to head the next government, it could be setting itself up for a fresh battle with a leader who has often refused to be the pliant premier that it prefers. That seems a strange, and potentially destabilizing, move for a military that’s emphasized the importance of prioritizing economic recovery in a country plagued with major foreign debt and a 24% inflation rate.
But then again, the military once viewed Khan as a favorite son, before falling out with him in catastrophic fashion in a dispute over the appointment of the head of the country's intelligence agency. Khan became a Frankenstein’s monster for the military. But now it’s seemingly once again betting on the wrong horse, banking on Sharif’s extensive experience to help the country right its economic ship. That’s even as his past record, marked by sharp disagreements with the army—which in one case led to his removal in a coup and in another resulted in his disqualification from public office—suggests stormy seas ahead for civil-military relations. More political turmoil could imperil the economic stabilization that Pakistan so desperately needs.

Pakistan’s Election Is Both Tragedy and Farce
The election, which will hardly be free or fair, comes at a time when there's never been a more critical moment for a credible vote.

پاکستانی عوام کو مبارک ہو
15 بھکاری پھر مسلط ہونے جارہے ہیں
پچھلی دفعہ ان کو نا جائز تحریک عدم اعتماد کے ذریعے مسلط کیا گیا تھا
اس دفعہ ان کو عوام پر عدم اعتماد کے ذریعے مسلط کیا جارہا ہے
پچھلی دفعہ وہ 16 مہینے میں پاکستان کو دنیا کی بد ترین ریاست کے درجے پر لے آئے تھے
اس دفعہ وہ کتنا چل پائیں گے اور پاکستان کو کتنا مزید ذلت اور رسوائی کے گڑھے میں دھکیلے گیں، ابھی کچھ کہنا قبل از وقت ہے
لیکن کیا پاکستان کے عوام کو ان کے ساتھ یہ نا انصافی قبول ہے. اس کا فیصلہ عوام نے ہی کرنا ہے
مذید ذلت و رسوائی یا عزت و آبرو
اور یہ فیصلہ اب زیادہ دور نہیں
چند ہی دنوں میں یہ فیصلہ سامنے آجائیگا
