Pakistan's 2024 elections have wrapped up amidst controversy as authorities suspended mobile calls and data due to reported terrorism threats. The vote follows the ousting of former PM Imran Khan two years ago. Three-time PM Nawaz Sharif, contesting what analysts deem a questionable election, faced challenges as internet services were cut just before polling began. The move drew criticism, affecting voter turnout and hindering the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Counting is underway, with results expected later. The election, marked by economic struggles and security issues, is crucial for a country grappling with inflation and rising violence.
