The stunning performance humiliated the country’s powerful generals, upended most political forecasts and created a political crisis. Now, uncertainty looms large. Khan’s supporters are electrified. But they are also enraged by what they call blatant rigging, and are challenging dozens of results. Protests have erupted and many more are planned as pressure grows on the country’s Election Commission to acknowledge widely reported irregularities in the vote counting. Khan’s supporters are also bracing for the possibility that [other parties may ultimately lead the government](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnq7q2P4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDIvMTAvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9wYWtpc3Rhbi1lbGVjdGlvbi1pbXJhbi1rYWhuLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwMjExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDkxOSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTc5MjQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmW6tjXJZVGxAvZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). Preliminary results suggested that his supporters did not score a full majority, and that they would need to form a coalition to rule. The military’s preferred party — the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif — is exploring ways to take control through alliances. The military: The wave of discontent with the meddling in politics will most likely put pressure on the army chief, Gen. Syed Asim Munir. He must now decide whether to reconcile with Khan or force a coalition of Khan’s opponents, one that many believe would be weak and unsustainable. The campaign: From behind bars, Khan [rallied his supporters with speeches that used A.I. to replicate his voice](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnq7q2P4QSAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDIvMTEvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9wYWtpc3Rhbi1pbXJhbi1raGFuLXNvY2lhbC1tZWRpYS1lbGVjdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyNDAyMTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE0OTE5Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1NzkyNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZbq2NcllUbEC9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), tapping into an internet-savvy youth bulge that is rewriting the country’s politics.

The stunning statements could [foreshadow fundamental changes in the world order](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnq7q2P0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMi8xMS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1uYXRvLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwMjExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDkxOSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTc5MjQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmW6tjXJZVGxAvZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) if Trump wins re-election this year. Never before has a U.S. president — even a former one — suggested that he would incite an enemy to attack the country’s closest allies. His statements also raised uncomfortable questions about his odd affinity for President Vladimir Putin of Russia — and revived his longstanding frustration with the alliance. As president, he undermined NATO by strong-arming members into keeping their commitments to spend more on their militaries with the threat that he would not help otherwise.
