PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif may be behind bars but it isn't stopping his social media team from getting his message across.

In a tweet posted today, an audio recording of Nawaz urges voters to come out to vote.

"I am Mohammad Nawaz Sharif speaking from jail," he says in the audio. "Even from this prison i can see your enthusiasm. I can hear the 'vote ko izzat do' cheers everywhere."

"It is time to make the final push against forces who have contributed to the downfall of the country... Maryam and I are imprisoned because we fought for the sanctity of your vote."
