The PTI rally in Kahna is yet to conclude and the PML-N has started debating on how many people gathered for the event, which former prime minister Imran Khan described as “do or die” for his party.

Although the administration granted PTI permission to hold the rally until 6pm, the convoy from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was unable to reach the venue before the deadline, with all entry points to the city blocked by the provincial government.

At a press conference earlier in the day, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari claimed that approximately 1,500 to 1,600 people arrived at the site.

She alleged that various party leaders brought small groups of supporters: Aaliya Hamza arrived with 100 people, Latif Khosa brought 25, and Haleem Adil Sheikh had 60 supporters from Karachi. Zartaj Gul was accompanied by 100 to 150 individuals.

Additionally, around 5pm, the PML-N shared images of the rally site, which appeared largely empty, further fueling the debate over the event’s effectiveness.

PML-N leader Marriyum Aurangzeb shared some images from the rally site around 3pm, highlighting the event’s atmosphere. By 5:30pm, a noticeable number of PTI workers and attendants were present at the venue.

Photos captured during the live coverage of the rally provide a clearer picture of the number of participants in attendance. The contrasting accounts from both parties have sparked discussions about the rally’s overall success and turnout.
