In Pakistan, less than two weeks before the national parliamentary election, former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), have been nearly erased from the election campaign due to a crackdown largely attributed to the military. Pakistani police detained at least two dozen supporters and fired tear gas to disperse pre-election rallies in Karachi. Despite these actions, thousands of Pakistanis showed up in support of Khan, who remains the country's most popular politician. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, Duterte's son has publicly urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to resign, while Marcos Jr. has accused Duterte of drug use, indicating a deepening rift between the two powerful political families.
