Following the Feb. 8 national election in Pakistan, where Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), won the most seats, the party has announced plans for countrywide protests on March 2 against alleged election rigging. This comes after a series of convictions against Khan, including a 4th trumped-up charge, and amidst accusations of a compromised judicial system, described as 'kangaroo courts' by critics, indicating military influence. The PTI, led by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan and represented by PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat, has also called on the International Monetary Fund to consider Pakistan's political instability in its discussions. Amidst this turmoil, Pakistan's National Assembly has sworn in newly elected members, with protests from Khan's supporters claiming the election was rigged. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has nominated ex-PM Shehbaz Sharif as the new prime minister.
