Have no idea who to root for, no idea who is the lesser to two evils. I don't think either are that friendly to the US.
Pakistan election: Final results give Khan-backed candidates lead
Quote:
The final results in Pakistan's general election have put independent candidates backed by jailed ex-PM Imran Khan's PTI party in the lead.
Independents won 101 of the National Assembly seats. BBC analysis shows 93 of them went to PTI-backed candidates. That puts them ahead of ex-PM Nawaz Sharif's PMLN who won 75 and it is unclear who will form a government.
As wrangling continues, independent candidates who did not win have flooded courts with vote-rigging allegations. Both the PTI, which was blocked from taking part in the election, and Mr Sharif's PMLN say they want to form the next government.

If guess this shows it was a relatively free & fair election?

The result was a surprise as most observers had expected Mr Sharif's party - widely seen as having the powerful military's backing - to win given Mr Khan had been jailed on charges ranging from corruption to having married illegally and his party was barred from the ballot sheet.
