The PTI has said it wants the “real mandate” of the public to be recognised, clarifying that it was not demanding the annulment of general elections.

“The results of the elections should reflect the actual votes cast by the people,” it said in a post on X.

The PTI added that all the institutions in Pakistan needed to ensure that only those who are the real representatives of the Pakistani people are seated in the Parliament.
