BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Pakistani news sources on Saturday reported that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) called on supporters to gather for a peaceful rally in front of polling stations on February 11.

This follows nationwide elections held on February 8, although voting results have yet to be announced.

Thread: Complete Forms 45 of #NA54, Rawalpindi.

The voting process typically entails nationals electing 266 candidates for the lower house of Parliament, who will subsequently elect a new Prime Minister. Additionally, voters choose representatives for provincial assemblies, who then elect provincial heads.

While the election results were anticipated to be finalized a few hours after midnight on the same day, even unofficial results have yet to be announced.

"No obstacle should be created for the PTI and results should be announced as soon as possible," Gohar Ali Khan, the party chairman, was quoted as saying by Pakistani broadcaster Geo News.

Despite facing a crackdown, the PTI, the main opposition which emerged as a frontrunner in pre-election polls, faced a setback when the Supreme Court of Pakistan barred the party from partaking in the general election.

The ruling came following the court's decision that the appointment of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's lawyer, Gohar Ali Khan, as the new party chairman is deemed unconstitutional.

The court further revoked the party's recognizable symbols and the PTI's representatives were refused registration, compelling them to run as independent candidates in the general election.

Geo News revealed that independents, who are more lenient towards Khan, had won  47 of 106 seats for which it had results, noting that a total of 265 seats were up for grabs in yesterday's election.

Khan previously stated that the military is working against his party, as analysts and opponents claim that Sharif is being backed by the military 

US voices concerns over "undue restrictions"

Washington on Friday questioned the implementation of "undue restrictions" during Pakistan's electoral process and voiced concerns regarding accusations of potential vote-rigging.

"We join credible international and local election observers in their assessment that these elections included undue restrictions on freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly," a statement by State Department Matthew Miller read. 

"We condemn electoral violence, restrictions on the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including attacks on media workers, and restrictions on access to the Internet and telecommunication services, and are concerned about allegations of interference in the electoral process. Claims of interference or fraud should be fully investigated.
