ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has said “fair” elections were possible without PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated in a graft case, and his party leaders jailed following violent riots in the country on May 9.
However, the premier also stated that thousands of PTI members, who were not a part of “unlawful activities”, “will be running the political process” and “will be participating in the elections”.
His statement comes days after the Election Commission of Pakistan finally announced that polls in the country would be held January next year. Major political parties in the country have now began preparations for elections.
In an interview with Associated Press over the weekend, PM Kakar dismissed the possibility of the military establishment manipulating the election results to ensure the PTI doesn’t win as “absolutely absurd”.-Courtesy AP
