Thousands gather in Islamabad to rally for the release of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, intensifying pressure on Pakistan’s government.

Imran Khan will remain in prison even after he and his wife were acquitted on charges of marrying unlawfully by a court in Islamabad.

Shehbaz Sharif secured his position as Pakistan's prime minister for the second time, three weeks after uncertain national elections led to the formation of a coalition government.

No prime minister has managed to serve a full five-year term due to the significant political influence wielded by the military.

Thousands of supporters of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan have taken to the streets nationwide to condemn what they perceive as fraud and manipulation in the recent general elections.

Despite PTI-backed candidates leading in Pakistan's election race, the party's supporters stage a protest outside the Election Commission in Karachi lamenting state interference in the polling process.

Pakistan’s ex-PMs and bitter rivals Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan both claim victory in the national election.
