The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has called for peaceful protests nationwide this Saturday, alleging rigging in the 2024 general elections held on February 8.

PTI leaders, including Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Salman Akram Rajam, and Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, announced the protests outside Adiala Jail, vowing strong opposition in Parliament until the “full mandate” is restored.

PTI claims to have secured an absolute majority in the elections, but alleges that the results were altered later when Form 47 was issued.

Furthermore, PTI has nominated Mian Aslam Iqbal as the candidate for Punjab’s chief minister and Aqibullah Khan as the candidate for speaker of the KP Assembly. The party will soon announce candidates for the National Assembly’s speaker and deputy speakers.

Sher Afzal Khan Marwat urged party supporters to stage protests to “save democracy.”

Earlier, former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser, after a meeting with PTI founder Imran Khan inside Adiala Jail, disclosed that Omar Ayub was named for the prime minister’s slot. Qaiser stated that he was assigned to engage with all political parties.
