Pakistan’s delayed elections may be over, but amid allegations of rigging and a deep economic slump, the chaos in the country continues.

A coalition government has been formed. However, with what is seen as a weak mandate, the ruling parties will have difficulty pushing through any meaningful policies. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party remains hugely popular and continue to allege that the election was stolen from them. They have lodged multiple court cases challenging the electoral results, even as their supporters protest in the streets.

Former-Prime Minister Imran Khan remain behind bars, but he nonetheless wields tremendous influence over millions of supporters who are fed up with the economic decline. And in the backdrop, public sentiment has turned against the powerful military establishment. Can Pakistan find a path forward after the polls?
