Former Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan has sent a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) demanding an audit of the country’s recent election results before the organization approves any new financial assistance for Islamabad. This move comes amidst ongoing political turmoil following the February 8th elections and the formation of a new coalition government led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Khan’s letter reportedly expresses concerns that the elections were rigged and warns that accepting a loan under such circumstances would burden the country and lead to further poverty. He argues that an audit is necessary to ensure the legitimacy of the new government and its ability to manage the economy effectively.

However, the IMF has stated its willingness to work with the new government, seemingly ignoring Khan’s demand. Additionally, former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar dismissed the letter as insignificant and potentially detrimental to national interests.

This development adds another layer of complexity to Pakistan’s already fragile political and economic situation. While the new government seeks to secure a new IMF loan program, Khan and his supporters continue to contest the election results and demand investigations. The outcome of this dispute could have significant implications for the country’s future stability and economic well-being.
