The political situation in Pakistan ahead of the general elections on February 8 is becoming increasingly tense. Imran Khan's party, PTI, and its supporters are alleging that the government is manipulating the electoral process by blocking the party's symbol, a cricket bat, to ensure its defeat. The Election Commission of Pakistan has excluded former Prime Minister Imran Khan from the final list of candidates, prompting accusations from observers that the election is rigged to keep him out of the political fray.
