As the clock struck midnight on May 10, the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) 32 hour ban on election campaigning came into effect before Saturday’s polls.
The last day of the election saw a flurry of activity by political parties throughout the country who took out rallies and held public meetings.
Just minutes before the time ran out, public meetings by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and the Pakistan Peoples Party came to an end in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Nawaz Sharif was present at his rally to address the gathered supporters in Lahore. He urged his supporters to vote for his party.
Meanwhile, PTI chief Imran Khan spoke to his supporters in Islamabad via a video link from his hospital bed in Lahore. He called on his supporters to vote for his party to realise their dreams for a “Naya Pakistan”.
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari addressed his party’s supporters, gathered in Rawalpindi, via a pre-recorded video message. The PPP chairman has not addressed any of his party’s election rally in person due to terror threats.
