Nawaz Sharif Declares Victory in Pakistan's 2024 Election: But Is It Really a Win?

Is It Really a Victory?

So the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is celebrating his big win in Pakistan's 2024 General Election. But wait there's a catch! Many Pakistanis and human rights groups are crying foul labeling the election as neither free nor fair. Sounds like someone is trying to pull a fast one!

Mid Count Shocker

Just when Sharif thought he had it in the bag independent candidates backed by imprisoned ex PM Imran Khan took the lead midway through the vote counting process. Talk about a plot twist! Looks like Sharif's victory may not be as secure as he thinks.

Militant Attacks and Misconduct

Election day in Pakistan was quite eventful with militants causing chaos and allegations of electoral misconduct flying left and right. It's almost like someone tried to make this whole thing as unpredictable as a battle with the Saxons!

Delayed Results

Patience is a virtue they say. Well the Election Commission of Pakistan must have tested the limits of the public's virtue by making them wait for over 10 hours for the results. Finally in the early hours of Friday morning the results were released. Talk about making everyone wait with bated breath!

The Military's Hand

Ah yes the military always making a grand entrance in Pakistan's politics. This time the degree of interference is so blatant that even a blind seer like the Seer of Kattegat could see it. No wonder Sharif's victory is raising eyebrows among the broader public.

A Comeback Story

Ragnar Lothbrok is no stranger to comebacks and neither is Nawaz Sharif. After a stint in self imposed exile in the U.K. Sharif returned to Pakistan ready to fight for the throne once again. Just like Ragnar he won't let a few corruption convictions get in his way!
