AAN World News: Farhad Esme re-elected as Takistan's Prime Minister following landslide victory in the Takistani general election

Candaldari, July 12, 2024 - Prime Minister Farhad Esme has won a decisive victory in Takistan's general election, marking a historic moment in the nation's political landscape. The election, held yesterday, saw a voter turnout of 64%, with citizens from all walks of life casting their ballots. Esme's Party, the Democratic Party for Takistan (DPT) secured an overwhelming 79% of the parliamentary seats, leaving the opposition with a shock defeat. This result highlights widespread support for Esme's policies.

Farhad Esme is a man who has been at the forefront of the media regarding Takistan's recent history, notably for his stance on terror organisations as well as Taliban aggression in the region. Opposition leader, Jalali Imarikhan has called the appointment an act of fraud. Imarikhan has stated that the elections were rigged by Western powers to ensure that a pro-Western government is in the region. There is no credible evidence to support this statement, with many attributing it to Imarikhan's upset at the loss of the general election.

The newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, called Prime Minister Esme to personally congratulate him on his victory and re-affirm British military commitments to Takistan.
