Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced plans to sit in opposition in Parliament and launch nationwide protests against alleged election rigging. Despite backing independent candidates, PTI's efforts to form a government faltered. PTI leader Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif confirmed the decision, citing evidence of fraudulent results. The party issued a white paper documenting irregularities and called for the chief election commissioner's resignation. PTI's core committee finalized plans for peaceful protests, with former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser leading efforts to garner support. Khan emphasized a focus on national development without political vengeance upon returning to power.
