Pakistan media reported victories by independents backed by the PTI party after jailed Imran Khan was disqualified from contesting the elections.

Independent candidates linked to jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were outperforming expectations on Friday in early tallies from the Pakistan election 2024, after a long delay in results added to accusations of poll rigging and manipulations.

Imran Khan's PTI party was barred from contesting Thursday's election as a bloc, but unofficial tallies by local TV channels showed independent candidates – including dozens anointed by his party – leading in most constituencies.
