Pakistani celebrities react to PTI's victory in Punjab by-elections

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, led by former prime minister Imran Khan, has won a majority of seats 15 out of 20 in the Punjab province in a crucial by-election. This is a significant victory for the PTI, which will help solidify its position in the province.

According to the Election Commission of Pakistan's unofficial results, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz won four seats, while an independent candidate won one seat.

Imran Khan in his message said: “I want to first thank our PTI workers & voters of Punjab for defeating not just PMLN candidates but the entire state machinery, esp harassment by police, & a totally biased ECP. Thank you to all our Allies, PMLQ, MWM & Sunni Ittehad Council”.

"The only way forward from here is to hold fair and free elections under a credible ECP," Khan said. "Any other path will only lead to greater political uncertainty and further economic chaos."
