PTI and ECP Engage in Heated Social Media Clash Over Election Fairness

A fierce verbal battle erupted on social media between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), intensifying political tensions in the country.

PTI’s official X (formerly Twitter) account accused the ECP of orchestrating unfair elections, alleging that Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja collaborated with former Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa to manipulate the results. The party labeled this as a “betrayal of the people’s mandate.”

In an unexpected and swift response, the ECP’s official account countered the allegations directly under PTI’s post, stating that the commission has never been a facilitator for any political entity, neither in the past nor now.

This rare direct exchange between a political party and the Election Commission has triggered a nationwide debate, further fueling political polarization. Observers believe this public clash could have lasting implications for Pakistan’s political landscape.
