rigging allegations and boycott of elections

During the by-election in Pakistan, the voting percentage was very low, while the people of one village boycotted voting completely. A show-cause notice was also issued to five women MPs of the ruling party in the case of violation of the election code of conduct. After the defeat, the PMML has rejected the results and accused the ruling PML-N of large-scale rigging.

PMML also tried its luck in the 2024 general elections, but it failed to win a single seat. This new political organization of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa founder Hafiz Saeed is known to work with the support of the Pakistan Army.

Hafiz Saeed is the founder of the banned terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which is the main conspirator of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 innocent people. Despite being declared a terrorist internationally, Hafiz Saeed's network is trying to make inroads into Pakistan's politics.
