Jailed Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan campaigns with AI voice clone
VergeDEC 2023
There is no doubt that PTI candidates have been fighting an uphill battle against the establishment in an electoral process that is all but free and fair. Pre-poll rigging and abuse of authority, as well as unwavering incidents of harassment against and unlawful detention of its leaders and supporters, expose the failure of the electoral body in performing its duties.
It was clear from the beginning that the jailed politician wouldn't be allowed to contest the 2024 elections after his conviction and disqualification. Yet, although he was very well aware that the election commission would reject his candidature, Imran Khan filed these nomination papers so that he could cry foul and rouse his supporters. It is Khan who is undermining democracy in Pakistan.
