Election results in Pakistan: Police threaten to crack down on protests. The party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan was excluded from the election, but many of his people still won parliamentary seats as independents.

Now there are protests against the election results. The election campaign in Pakistan was marred by violence, the imprisonment of Khan and the obstruction of his PTI party by the military-run establishment. Leading PTI politicians said they would have won even more seats had it not been for the electoral fraud they denounced.
