General elections were held in Pakistan on 25 July 2018 to elect the members of the 15th National Assembly and the four Provincial Assemblies. The three major parties were Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by Imran Khan, the Pakistan Muslim League, led by Shehbaz Sharif, and the Pakistan People's Party, led by Bilawal Bhutto. The PTI won the most seats in the National Assembly but fell short of a majority; the party subsequently formed a coalition government with several smaller parties. At the provincial level, the PTI remained the largest party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP); the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) retained its dominance in Sindh; and the newly formed Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) emerged as the largest party in Balochistan. In Punjab, the result was a hung parliament, with the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)) winning the most seats. However, after several independent MPAs joined the PTI, the latter became the largest party and was able to form a government.
Opinion polling prior to the campaigns starting had initially shown leads for the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)) over the PTI. However, from an 11-point lead, the PML(N)'s lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign, with some polls close to the election showing the PTI with a marginal but increasing lead. In the lead-up to the elections, there were rumours about pre-poll rigging being conducted by the judiciary, the military and the intelligence agencies to sway the election results in favour of the PTI and against the PML(N).{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44693968|title=The assault on Pakistan media ahead of vote|date=4 July 2018|access-date=7 July 2018|website=BBC News}}{{cite journal|url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/pakistan/2018-07-27/pakistans-sham-election|title=Pakistan's Sham Election|first=C.

Election day saw the PTI receive 32% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since its foundation), while the PML(N) received 24%. Following the elections, six major parties including PML(N) claimed there had been large-scale vote rigging and administrative malpractices.{{cite news |work=BBC News |title=Ex-cricketer Khan leads Pakistan elections in early counting |date=26 July 2018 |access-date=27 July 2018 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44961193}}{{cite news |last=Gannon |first=Kathy |magazine=Time Magazine |title=Unofficial Results in Pakistan's Election Show Lead For Imran Khan, But Opponents Allege Fraud |date=26 July 2018 |access-date=26 July 2018 |url=http://time.com/5349389/pakistan-election-imran-khan-lead-fraud/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729214550/http://time.com/5349389/pakistan-election-imran-khan-lead-fraud/|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 July 2018}}{{cite news |last=Shah |first=Saeed |work=The Wall Street Journal |title=Ex-Cricket Star Imran Khan Headed for Pakistan Election Victory |date=25 July 2018 |access-date=26 July 2018 |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/ex-cricket-star-imran-khan-headed-for-pakistan-election-victory-1532554443}} Imran Khan, chairman of the PTI, proceeded to form a coalition government, announcing his cabinet shortly after the elections.{{cite web|date=2018-07-30|title=Imran Khan Close to Forming Pakistan Coalition, Cabinet Decided|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-30/imran-khan-close-to-forming-pakistan-coalition-cabinet-decided|access-date=2020-09-24|website=Bloomberg.com}} The newly formed coalition government included members of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Pakistan Muslim League (Q).{{Cite web|date=2018-07-28 |title=Imran starts preparations for formation of govt at Centre |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1423370 |access-date=2022-03-14 |website=Dawn |language=en}}

Background

{{further|Pakistani general election, 2013#Results}}
Following the elections in 2013, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), led by twice Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, emerged as the largest party with 166 seats out of a total of 342 in the National Assembly. Although this was short of a majority, Sharif was able to form a government after several independents joined his party.{{cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/pakistan-elections-2013/nawaz-sharif-s-pml-n-emerges-as-single-largest-party-in-pak-polls_848470.html|title=Nawaz Sharif's PML-N emerges as single largest party in Pak polls|date=14 May 2013|website=Zeenews|access-date=22 July 2013}}
During the election campaign, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by prominent cricketer turned politician Imran Khan, was widely expected to have huge success in the polls. The party fell short of these expectations, instead only taking 35 seats. It became the 3rd largest party in the National Assembly and formed a coalition government in the restive north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-22502636/imran-khan-pakistan-will-never-be-the-same-again|title=Imran Khan: 'Pakistan will never be the same again'|date=12 May 2013|work=BBC News|access-date=26 July 2018}}

{{further|Panama Papers case}}
On 3 April 2016 the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) made 11.5 million secret documents, later known as the Panama Papers, available to the public.{{cite news |title=News Group Claims Huge Trove of Data on Offshore Accounts |url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/04/03/world/europe/ap-panama-papers.html |newspaper=The New York Times |agency=Associated Press |date=3 April 2016 |access-date=4 April 2016 |first1=Natalya |last1=Vasilyeva |first2=Mae |last2=Anderson}} The documents, sourced from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, among other revelations about other public figures in many other countries, included details of eight offshore companies with links to the family of Nawaz Sharif, the then-incumbent Prime Minister of Pakistan, and his brother Shehbaz Sharif, the incumbent Chief Minister of Punjab.{{cite web|last1=Cheema|first1=Umer|title=House of Sharifs Named In Panama Papers|url=http://cirp.pk/index.php/2016/04/05/house-of-sharifs-named-in-panama-papers/|website=Centre for Investigative Reporting in Pakistan|publisher=CIRP|access-date=11 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170429100453/http://cirp.pk/index.php/2016/04/05/house-of-sharifs-named-in-panama-papers/|archive-date=29 April 2017|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}} According to the ICIJ, Sharif's children Maryam Nawaz, Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz "were owners or had the right to authorise transactions for several companies".{{cite web |publisher=The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists |title=Giant leak of offshore financial records exposes global array of crime and corruption |url=https://www.occrp.org/en/panamapapers/overview/intro/ |website=OCCRP |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404075638/https://www.occrp.org/en/panamapapers/overview/intro/ |archive-date=4 April 2016 |url-status=live |date=3 April 2016}}
Sharif refused to resign and instead make an unsuccessful attempt to form a judicial commission. The opposition leader Khan filed a petition to the Supreme Court of Pakistan on 29 August seeking the disqualification of Sharif from public office (which would automatically remove him of the office of Prime Minister). This petition was also supported by prominent political leaders Sheikh Rasheed (AML) and Siraj-ul-Haq (PAT). Khan called, once again, for his supporters to put Islamabad in lockdown until Sharif resigned, although this was called off soon before it was meant to take place.{{cite news|last1=Ghumman|first1=Khawar|title=Imran plans siege of Islamabad on Oct 30|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1288516|access-date=11 April 2017|work=Dawn|publisher=Dawn Group|date=7 October 2016}}
On 20 April 2017, on a 3-2 verdict, the Supreme Court decided against the disqualification of Sharif, instead calling for a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to be created which would probe these allegations further.{{cite web|title=Meet the SC judges behind the Panama Papers ruling|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1328146|website=Dawn.com|date=20 April 2017}}

Additionally, the report claimed that his daughter Maryam was guilty of falsifying documents, as she submitted a document from 2006 which used the Calibri font despite the font itself not being available for public use until 2007.{{cite web|title=JIT report raises doubts about use of 'Calibri' font in papers submitted by Maryam|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1344654/jit-report-raises-doubts-about-use-of-calibri-font-in-papers-submitted-by-maryam|website=Dawn.com|date=11 July 2017|access-date=11 July 2017}}
=Disqualification of Nawaz Sharif (2017)=
On 28 July 2017, following the submittal of the JIT report, the Supreme Court unanimously decided that Sharif was dishonest, therefore not fulfilling the requirements of articles 62 and 63 of the constitution which require one who holds public office to be Sadiq and Ameen (Urdu for Truthful and Virtuous). Hence, he was disqualified as Prime Minister and as a Member of the National Assembly.{{cite web|url=https://nation.com.pk/28-Jul-2017/sadiq-and-ameen?version=amp|title=Sadiq and Ameen|date=28 July 2017|access-date=17 June 2018|website=Thenation.com.pk}}{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1348191|title=Nawaz Sharif steps down as PM after SC's disqualification verdict|work=Dawn|first=Haseeb|last=Bhatti|date=28 July 2017}} The court also ordered National Accountability Bureau to file a reference against Sharif, his family and his former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on corruption charges.{{cite news|url=https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/headline/panama-case-verdict-pakistan-supreme-court-disqualifies-pm-nawaz-sharif/|title=Panama Case verdict: Pakistan Supreme Court disqualifies PM Nawaz Sharif|work=Daily Pakistan|date=28 July 2017|access-date=28 July 2017}}

= Major by-elections (2017–2018) =
Following the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif, several by-elections were held throughout Pakistan.
== Lahore by-election, September 2017 ==
The first of these was the by-election in Sharif's former constituency, NA-120 Lahore, which is located in the capital city of the Punjab province, a province where the PML (N) was the ruling party. It retained this seat, albeit with a much reduced majority due to gains by the PTI and minor Islamist parties.{{cite web|url=https://www.samaa.tv/news/2017/09/official-result-of-na-120-announced-kulsoom-polls-61745-votes/amp/|title=Official result of NA-120 announced, Kulsoom polls 61,745 votes|date=20 September 2017|website=dunya.tv}}
== Peshawar by-election, October 2017 ==
The second of these was a by election in Peshawar, capital city of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf| was the ruling party. NA-4 once again voted for PTI, despite a reduced majority: once again mainly due to the rise of Islamist parties. These by-elections largely were largely seen as indicators that the ruling parties in both Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab were still electorally strong.{{cite news|url=https://dunyanews.tv/en/Pakistan/411552-LIVE-NA-4-by-election-results-PTI-PML-N-ANP-PPP| title=PTI's Arbab Amir wins NA-4 by-election with reasonable margin: unofficial results|date=26 October 2017|website=dunya.tv}}
== Lodhran by-election, 2018 ==
On 15 December 2017, Jahangir Khan Tareen, General Secretary of the PTI, was disqualified from holding public office. Hence, his NA-154 Lodhran seat was vacated.{{cite news|title=Imran Khan gets clean chit, Jahangir Khan Tareen disqualified|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/256476-imran-khan-gets-clean-chit-in-disqualification-case|access-date=15 December 2017|work=thenews.com.pk|language=en}}
In a previous by-election in this constituency in 2015, Tareen won this seat with a majority in excess of 35,000 votes. Therefore, this seat was seen as a stronghold for the PTI.
In what was seen as an upset result, Iqbal Shah of the PML (N) won this by-election with a majority over 25,000 votes against Jahangir Tareen's son, Ali Tareen. Many saw this as a failure on the PTI's behalf, and the result led to a drop in morale for PTI workers.{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1388946|title=PML-N candidate poised to win by-polls in NA-154 Lodhran|date=13 February 2018|website=dawn.com}}
= Campaigning =
The National Assembly and provincial assemblies of Pakistan dissolved as early as 28 May for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh, and as late as 31 May for Punjab, Balochistan, and the National Assembly.{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1411167|title=National Assembly stands dissolved as second successive democratic government completes five-year term|website=Dawn.com|date=1 June 2018}}
The assemblies dissolved during the holy month of Ramadan, a month where Muslims worldwide refrain from eating or drinking from sunrise to sundown. Hence, most major parties did not start campaigning until late June.{{cite news|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/200450-nawaz-sons-should-be-held-accountable-for-rs300bn-imran|title=Imran to kick-start PTI's election campaign from Mianwali today|date=24 June 2018|website=Geo.tv}}
== Nomination papers ==
On 4 June, parties and individuals started filing nomination papers for the elections. This process continued until 8 June.{{cite web|url=https://www.ecp.gov.pk/PrintDocument.aspx?PressId=55213&type=Image|title=ECP: Change in date of filing nomination papers|date=6 June 2018}} After this, the returning officer in each constituency began scrutiny of the nominated candidates and decided whether or not to accept the nomination papers.
The scrutiny resulted in many high-profile politicians having their nomination papers rejected: Imran Khan (chairman of PTI), Farooq Sattar (chairman of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (Pakistan) (MQM-P)) and Pervez Musharraf (chairman of All Pakistan Muslim League and former President), had their nomination papers rejected. Both Sattar and Khan had their nomination papers later accepted.{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/199763-nomination-papers-of-sattar-musharraf-rejected|title=Nomination papers of Sattar, Musharraf rejected|website=Geo.tv|date=19 June 2018 |access-date=6 July 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/pakistan/imran-khans-nomination-papers-rejected-1.2239137|title=Imran Khan's nomination papers rejected|website=Gulf News |date=19 June 2018 |access-date=6 July 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/200856-pti-chief-imran-khan-allowed-to-contest-polls-from-na-53|title=PTI chief Imran Khan allowed to contest polls from NA-53, NA-35|website=geo.tv|access-date=6 July 2018}}
Additionally, politicians Fawad Chaudhry (Information Secretary of PTI) and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi (former Prime Minister) were disqualified from contesting these elections by election tribunals due to the non declaration of assets in their nomination papers. This was controversial because election tribunals were seen as not having the jurisdiction to disqualify candidates, rather only to accept or reject their nomination papers. The Lahore High Court eventually overturned these judgements and allowed the respective candidates to contest their elections.{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1416642|title=LHC suspends appellate tribunal's disqualification verdict against PTI's Fawad Chaudhry|first=Rana|last=Bilal|date=28 June 2018|website=dawn.com|access-date=6 July 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1416839|title=LHC suspends tribunal decision on Abbasi's disqualification for life|first=Rana|last=Bilal|date=29 June 2018|website=dawn.com|access-date=6 July 2018}} Two major politicians of Tehreek-e-Insaf from Chakwal, Sardar Ghulam Abbas and Sardar Aftab Akbar Khan were disqualified to contest elections producing major problem in Chakwal district for the party.{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1416515|title=PTI left without candidate in NA-64|date=June 28, 2018|website=dawn.com}}

==Pre-poll==
There have been allegations by some international journalists and scholars, claiming that there was a plan between judiciary and military bodies to influence the outcome of the election. These allegations were also made by the outgoing PML(N) following Nawaz Sharif's disqualification for corruption.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/07/26/what-just-happened-in-pakistans-election-and-what-happens-next/?noredirect=on|title=What just happened in Pakistan's election? And what happens next?|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=26 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018|first=Asfandyar|last=Mir}} It was suggested that alleged goal of these attempts was to halt the party of Nawaz Sharif from coming into power and to bring the results in favor of PTI, so that Imran Khan – who is alleged as close to the military – can be installed as the prime minister.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurasiareview.com/06072018-pakistan-general-elections-subverted-by-army-judiciary-nexus-analysis/|title=Pakistan: General Elections Subverted By Army-Judiciary Nexus – Analysis|date=6 July 2018|website=eurasiareview.com|access-date=6 July 2018}} Khan has denied these allegations as a "foreign conspiracy" and "against the facts", while the military also categorically rejected them.{{cite news |url= https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/pakistan-elections-imran-khan-180724223110697.html |title=Pakistan elections: Who is Imran Khan? |first=Saba |last=Aziz |work=Al Jazeera |date= 26 July 2018 |access-date= 28 July 2018}} There have been claims of PML (N)'s campaign material being ripped apart by authorities while leaving alone material belonging to PTI.{{cite web |url= https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/pakistans-army-yet-again-takes-on-the-wrong-fight/articleshow/65008467.cms |title= Nawaz Sharif: Pakistan's army yet again takes on the wrong fight – The Economic Times |website= economictimes.com |access-date= 16 July 2018}} There have been suggestions that candidates belonging to PML (N) have been coerced by ISI to switch to those parties whose future government can be better controlled by military.{{cite web|url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/world-news/pakistan-elections-around-the-corner-but-many-say-results-already-decided/story-USWalOCpitgfjB5iMn4TVL_amp.html|title=Pakistan elections around the corner, but many say results already decided|website=hindustantimes.com|date=3 July 2018 |access-date=8 July 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/pakistans-military-wields-more-influence-ahead-of-national-election-1532088001|title=Pakistan's Military Wields More Influence Ahead of National Election|first1=Saeed|last1=Shah|first2=Waqar|last2=Gillani|date=20 July 2018|access-date=21 July 2018|website=The Wall Street Journal.com}} On the last day of scrutiny of nomination papers, seven PML (N) candidates from Southern Punjab returned their tickets leaving no option for PML (N) to field replacement candidates, depriving them an opportunity to win those seats.{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1417062|title=PML-N's troubles continue as 7 candidates in south Punjab return party tickets|first1=Tariq Saeed | last1=Birmani | first2=Kanwer | last2=Faheem | first3=Mohammad | last3=Ali|date=30 June 2018|website=dawn.com|access-date=6 July 2018}} There have also been reports of election engineering by army and intelligence agencies in Balochistan province in favor of Balochistan Awami Party.{{cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2018/7/16/shadow-of-engineering-hangs-over-pakistan-election|title=Shadow of 'engineering' hangs over Pakistan election|website=Aljazeera.com|access-date=16 July 2018}}
Reports further suggested that there was evidence of collusion between the judiciary and military, in that two military officials were appointed to the Joint Investigation Team to investigate corruption allegations against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, which were further strengthened by the circumstances of the Avenfield case verdict against the Sharifs. Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, an Islamabad High Court senior justice, released a statement on 22 July alleging that judges were pressured by ISI not to release Sharif before the election.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44924389|title=Pakistan election raises fears of 'creeping coup'|date=23 July 2018|access-date=24 July 2018|website=Bbc.com}}{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1421704|title=Justice Shaukat sees erosion of independence of judiciary|date=22 July 2018|website=Dawn|access-date=24 July 2018}} However, he provided no evidence{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1421562|title=IHC judge makes startling allegations against security agencies 'meddling' in judicial affairs|work=Dawn|date=21 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018|first=Tahir|last=Naseer}} and was at the time facing corruption and misconduct charges pending at the Supreme Judicial Council, leading to rumours about the timing of his statement.{{Cite news|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/344938-cjp-nisar-responds-angrily-to-justice-shaukats-statement|title=CJP Nisar responds angrily to Justice Shaukat's statement|work=The News|date=22 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018}} Pakistan's Chief Justice Saqib Nisar said he felt "saddened" at Siddiqui's comments, and whilst criticising them, stated that "as the head of judiciary, I assure you that we are not under any sort of pressure". There have been allegations that the micromanagement of political parties and the censorship of the newspapers, social media and TV channels is to further influence the election result.{{cite news|url=https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/06/world/asia/pakistan-military-dissent-censorship.html|title=In Pre-Election Pakistan, a Military Crackdown Is the Real Issue|date=6 June 2018|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=11 July 2018|last1=Schorzman|first1=Douglas}} An official from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan stated that "The level of army interference and political engineering is unprecedented." The summary of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan fact finding exercise reported curbs on freedom of expression, including curbs to distribution in newspapers, TV, journalists, digital media and press advice and intimidation by intelligence agencies. The curbs were in favor of PTI, with respondents reporting that "criticism of the PTI" was a topic unpopular with the intelligence agencies. "Another reportedly common piece of press advice to the broadcast media [from the intelligence agencies] that the channel should give greater coverage to PTI rallies and only minimal coverage to other parties' events".{{Cite web|url=http://hrcp-web.org/hrcpweb/curbs-on-freedom-of-expression-in-pakistan-summary-of-hrcp-fact-finding-exercise/|title=Curbs on freedom of expression in Pakistan: Summary of HRCP fact-finding exercise {{!}} HRCP|date=2019-07-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190718062033/http://hrcp-web.org/hrcpweb/curbs-on-freedom-of-expression-in-pakistan-summary-of-hrcp-fact-finding-exercise/|access-date=2020-03-02|archive-date=18 July 2019}} Another institution, the National Accountability Bureau has been described as being used by military intelligence agencies, including ISI, to bring politicians in line by threatening to bring corruption cases against them. Due to interference by military and intelligence agencies, The Financial Times described these elections as "the dirtiest in years".{{cite news|url=https://www.ft.com/content/4572d7f4-89c1-11e8-bf9e-8771d5404543|title=Pakistan heads for dirtiest election in years|newspaper=Financial Times|date=18 July 2018 |access-date=22 July 2018}}
Furthermore, the EU observer mission released their report after the election stating that there were "systematic attempts to undermine the ruling party", "lack of equality of opportunity", pressure on the media, far stronger efforts than usual to encourage switching parties and judicial conduct had all negatively influenced the vote.
Some of these allegations have also been made by certain political parties and figures more prominently by PML (N). Among the politicians, Farhatullah Babar has been very vocal against the election meddling by military describing it as a "creeping coup against civilian authority".{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1413670|title='Creeping coup' underway in lead-up to election, alleges Babar|first=Nadir|last=Guramani|date=12 June 2018|website=dawn.com|access-date=28 July 2018}} Raza Rabbani also leveled the same allegations including the Election Commission of Pakistan, National Accountability Bureau and security agencies as the culprit behind pre-poll rigging.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}
==Election day==
The election results were scheduled to be released 2am the next day; however, this was delayed due to glitches in "Results Transmission System" (RTS), an Android and iPhone-based app that was to be used for sending results from 85,000 polling stations to the ECP headquarters.{{cite news|title=Pakistan Election 2018: ECP's over-reliance on software, failure to respond to early warnings led to delay in poll results|author=Riazul Haq|url=https://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistan-election-2018-ecps-over-reliance-on-software-failure-to-respond-to-early-warnings-led-to-delay-in-poll-results-4841581.html}} The system was initially running smoothly but started to malfunction when the results started pouring in large numbers. Another issue was related to weak wifi and 3G signals: presiding officers could not get strong enough signals inside the polling station to transmit the result, and were not allowed to leave the station (to get better signals) until they had transmitted the result. Eventually the election results were sent back to the ECP via fax.{{cite news|title=Pakistan election 2018: Imran Khan claims victory – as it happened|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2018/jul/25/pakistan-elections-2018-millions-head-to-vote-as-polls-open-live|work=The Guardian}} Some alleged the delays were due to a "conspiracy".{{cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistan-election-results-delayed-due-to-transmission-failure-a-day-after-goof-ups-power-outages-hampered-voting-4825811.html|title=Pakistan election results delayed due to 'transmission failure' a day after goof-ups, power outages hampered voting|website=firstpost.com|date=26 July 2018 }}
Almost all political parties, with the exception of PTI, have alleged large scale election day rigging.{{Cite web |author=Bard Wilkinson, Sophia Saifi and Ben Westcott |title=Imran Khan claims victory in disputed Pakistan election |url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/26/asia/pakistan-polls-close-intl/index.html |access-date=2022-03-14 |website=CNN|date=26 July 2018 }}{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/world/dirtiest-election-in-pakistans-history-shehbaz-sharif-says-blatant-rigging-taking-nation-30-years-back-1823825.html|title='Dirtiest Polls in Pakistan's History': Shehbaz Sharif Says Blatant Rigging Taking Nation 30 Years Back|website=News18.com|date=26 July 2018 |access-date=6 August 2018}}{{cite web|author=Rajat Sharma |url=https://www.aninews.in/news/world/asia/pakistan-polls-parties-allege-large-scale-rigging201807260950070001/ |title=Pakistan Polls: Parties allege large scale rigging |website=Aninews.in |date=2018-07-26 |access-date=2018-08-12}} The winning PTI have alleged rigging in some constituencies as well.{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1423254|title=Here's a list of constituencies where PTI, PML-N, PPP are alleging rigging|date=29 July 2018}} The fairness of the election was also criticized due to the Election Commission's failure to provide Form 45s, official forms which include the tally of votes and are prepared in the presence of political agents of all the candidates.{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-pakistan-election-2018-ppp-pml-n-allege-large-scale-rigging-as-pti-widens-lead-2641840/amp|title=Pakistan Election 2018: PPP, PML-N allege large-scale rigging as PTI widens lead - Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis|website=Dnaindia.com|access-date=28 July 2018}} Party leaders alleged that their representatives were barred from polling stations before counting began and the Form 45s were prepared in their absence and behind closed doors. In some instances, the representatives were given results on plain paper instead of official forms. In another instance, the presiding officer signed blank forms, allowing the possibility of results being manipulated afterwards. Independent candidate Jibran Nasir also made similar allegations.{{cite web|url=https://nation.com.pk/25-Jul-2018/political-parties-protest-against-irregularity-in-vote-counting|title=Political parties protest against irregularity in vote counting|date=25 July 2018|website=nation.com.pk|access-date=28 July 2018}} There was also an incident of seven people being arrested for alleged vote rigging in Karachi.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2018/jul/25/pakistan-elections-2018-millions-head-to-vote-as-polls-open-live?page=with:block-5b583d95e4b02705761b460c#block-5b583d95e4b02705761b460c|title=Karachi: 7, including a woman, arrested from polling stations in NA-238|website=TheGuardian.com |access-date=22 July 2018}} According to FAFEN observer Sarwar Bari, "Only one polling agent of every party is allowed when Form 45 is given out by the polling staff, so we can't rule out the fact that it could be a misunderstanding." A few days after the election, in the NA-241 (Korangi Karachi-III) constituency, ballots cast for candidates of PML (N), PPP, and MQM-P were found in a garbage heap. A PTI candidate won the election in that constituency.{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/205207-stamped-ballot-papers-found-in-garbage-heap-in-karachi|title=Stamped ballot papers recovered from garbage dump in Karachi|website=Geo.tv|access-date=28 July 2018}}
Chairman of winning party Imran Khan pledged that he will allow to open any constituency his opponents think are rigged, he said that opposition has full right into recounting or accountability over election process to ensure transparency.{{cite news|url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/994714/Imran-Khan-speech-today-in-full-English-Pakistan-election-result|title=Imran Khan's speech in full: READ new Pakistan leaders complete victory speech in English|date=26 July 2018}}
The Free and Fair Election Network, an election watchdog, said the 2018 polls were "more transparent" in some aspects than the previous elections and that "significant improvements in the quality of critical electoral processes" inspired "greater public confidence".{{cite news|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1767594/1-fafen-concerned-vote-counting-process-slow-announcement-results/|title=FAFEN satisfied with transparency of polls, urges ECP to allay opposition's concerns|work=The Express Tribune|date=27 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018|first=Kazim|last=Hamdani}} According to former Indian Chief Election Commissioner S. Y. Quraishi, a member of the international observers group in Pakistan, the election system was transparent, free and fair, and the minor technical glitches which showed up later in the day were due to inexperience.{{cite news|url=https://www.ndtv.com/video/news/left-right-centre/pakistan-elections-free-and-fair-says-indian-observer-sy-quraishi-490160|title=Pakistan Elections Free And Fair, Says Indian Observer SY Quraishi|work=NDTV|date=26 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018}}
On 12 August 2018, it was reported that 90% of Form-45s were not signed by any polling agent, which is a violation of Election Act 2017.{{cite web|url=https://jang.com.pk/news/534147|title=اہم خبریں - 90 فیصد سے زائد فارم 45 پر پولنگ ایجنٹوں کے دستخط نہیں |publisher=Daily Jang}} However, an ECP spokesperson clarified the discrepancy by stating that there was no designated space on the Form-45s to obtain the signatures of polling agents. The signatures were instead done on tamper-evident bags that were used to transport the results.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/354099-more-than-90pc-form-45-not-signed-by-polling-agents|title=More than 90pc Form-45 not signed by polling agents|last=Durrani|first=Fakhar|date=12 August 2018|website=The News}} For the transparency reasons and to combat controversy surrounding form 45, election commission of Pakistan published all form 45 publicly on their website.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1425735|title=ECP uploads Form 45, others containing election results data on its website|date=August 8, 2018|website=The Dawn}}

Government formation
Despite rejecting the results of the election due to alleged rigging, the Pakistan Muslim League (N) made the decision to take oath in the elected assemblies for the sake of democracy, conceding that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's Imran Khan was likely to be the Prime Minister. Hence, the government formation at the federal level was left to the PTI alone.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44980344|title=Pakistan election: Party of Ex-PM Nawaz Sharif concedes to Imran Khan|date=27 July 2018}}
Talks began with smaller parties and independents to form a government. Muttahida Qaumi Movement which won six seats, Pakistan Muslim League (Q) which won four, Balochistan Awami Party which won four, Grand Democratic Alliance which won two, and thirteen independent candidates were invited to join the PTI-led government. Additionally, Awami Muslim League led by Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, the party's only MNA, had already vowed its support to PTI before the elections.{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/pakistan-election-imran-khan-coalition-talks-results-pti-nawaz-sharif-a8468151.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/pakistan-election-imran-khan-coalition-talks-results-pti-nawaz-sharif-a8468151.html |archive-date=1 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Pakistan's Imran Khan begins coalition talks after disputed election results announced|date=28 July 2018|website=The Independent}}{{cbignore}}
On 28 July, PML (Q) pledged its support to PTI's candidates for Chief Minister of Punjab, making it unlikely to oppose PTI in the National Assembly.{{Cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/205308-number-games-for-punjab-cm-pml-q-gives-thumbs-down-to-pml-n|title=Number games for Punjab CM: PML-Q gives thumbs down to PML-N|website=geo.tv}} On 31 July, Balochistan Awami Party announced its support for a PTI led federal government.{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/205546-bap-announces-support-for-pti-in-national-assembly|title=BAP announces support for PTI in National Assembly|website=geo.tv|access-date=6 August 2018}}
On 1 August, Muttahida Qaumi Movement was told by the PPP that it had to choose between sitting in a coalition with them in Sindh or sitting in a coalition with PTI in the centre. On the same day, MQM-P convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui announced the party's six MNAs would lend their support to the PTI in the National Assembly.{{cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1771300/1-mqm-p-lends-support-pti-forming-federal-govt/?amp=1|title=MQM-P lends support to PTI in forming federal govt - The Express Tribune|website=tribune.com.pk|date=August 2018 |access-date=6 August 2018}}
On 2 August, Pakistan Muslim League (N), Pakistan Peoples Party, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal and Awami National Party announced to form a "Grand Opposition Alliance" whereby the Speaker, Prime Minister and other key posts would be jointly nominated and elected. The Speakership would be given to the PPP, the Deputy Speakership to the MMA and the Premiership to the PML(N). However, on 16 August, after the elections for speaker, PPP decided to withdraw their support for Shehbaz Sharif for the post of Prime Minister, owing to previous statements made by the individual about the party's co-chairman and ex-President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari.{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1424493|title='Opposition' parties resolve to bring their own prime minister, NA speaker|website=dawn.com|date=2 August 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/207666-ppp-expresses-reservations-over-pml-ns-pm-candidate |title=PPP withdraws support for Shehbaz Sharif as PM candidate | Pakistan |website=Geo.tv |date=2018-08-16 |access-date=2018-08-22}}
Over the next few weeks, other parties pledged their support towards the PTI nominees for speaker, deputy speaker. These parties include Balochistan National Party (Mengal), Grand Democratic Alliance and Jamhoori Watan Party. In addition to this, 9 independents joined the party.{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/206674-pti-bap-agreement |title=BNP-M, PTI deal secures Mengal's support for Imran at centre | Pakistan |website=Geo.tv |date=2018-08-09 |access-date=2018-08-22}}{{cite web|url=https://dunyanews.tv/en/Pakistan/451901-GDA-PTI-support-Prime-Minister-Imran-Khan-Sindh-Opposition-MQM-P |title=GDA assures unconditional support to PTI - Pakistan |publisher=Dunya News |date=2018-08-09 |access-date=2018-08-22}}{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1425669 |title=Shahzain Bugti announces support for Imran Khan - Pakistan |publisher=Dawn |date=2018-08-08 |access-date=2018-08-22}}

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reacted positively and opened 2% higher as the prospect of a hung government dissipated. The KSE index closed 749 points higher on Thursday.{{cite web|url=http://www.arabnews.com/node/1345826/business-economy|title=Pakistan stock exchange remains bullish, gains 749 points in post election rally|date=26 July 2018|website=arabnews.com|access-date=28 July 2018}} On 3 July 2018, the benchmark KSE-100 index gained 314 points to reach 43,100 points. It closed up 770 points at 43,556 points. The US dollar shed Rs5.36 against the rupee in the inter-bank market for the first time in four years, falling to Rs122.5. The positive economic indicators are considered to be largely driven by what investors consider the return of political stability following the polls.{{cite web|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/205346-in-a-first-in-four-years-dollar-falls-by-rs536-in-interbank-market|title=In a first in four years, dollar falls by Rs5.36 in interbank market|date=30 July 2018|website=Geo News|access-date=30 July 2018}}
