Pakistan's May 11 parliamentary elections

The election commission has received more than hundred complaints of irregularities and rigging on the day of parliamentary elections. The EU has
also monitored the irregularities in the vote. Pakistan's May 11 parliamentary elections had been nationally and internationally observed as landmark and historic, but still there have been a number of complaints of irregularities in the polls.
       
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) party overruled the majority in the elections. PML-N defeated both the former ruling People's Party (PPP) as well as former cricketer Imran Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the elections and claimed two-third of majority in the parliament.
Though the PPP has conceded defeat without any major complaints, PTI and other parties have obligated PML-N as responsible for the irregularities in the elections.

Earlier this week, Michael Gahler, the chief observer of the European Union's elections observation mission (EOM), confirmed "serious problems in polling."
       
Despite a campaign marred by violence and irregularities, EU observers praised the elections as a 'positive step for democracy.' Still, they urge the new government to press on with reforms.
