Pakistan election polls close in vote marred by internet blackout | BBC News


Polls have closed in Pakistan after the authorities suspended mobile calls and data while millions voted for a new government in a controversial election.

The interior ministry said incidents of terrorism made the measure necessary.

The election comes almost two years after the previous prime minister, cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, was ousted in a no-confidence vote.

Three-time PM Nawaz Sharif was on the ballot in what many analysts say is Pakistan’s least credible election yet.

It’s unclear how soon results will be announced but they must be released within two weeks of election day.
