Aqil Shah offers an analysis of the Pakistan's 2018 Parliamentary elections that scored a key victory for Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf and brought Imran Khan into power as Prime Minister. Shah notes that despite this being the second peaceful turnover of power in Pakistan, the election has been marred by serious allegations of fraud and manipulation.
