This election had significant importance for millions of young voters and its influence resonated across online platforms.
Satirical images and comments flooded social media, often directed at prominent figures such as Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Nawaz Sharif.
Also the unconventional design of the voting ballots, due to the presence of numerous independent candidates, caused amusement and Internet users compared them to emoji keyboards.
How did the Internet react to the memes?
The delay in receiving the results may have created frustration, but the clever memes were a collective means to vent emotions and foster a sense of unity.
This creative online reaction reflects the resilience and humor embedded in Pakistani society, even in the midst of uncertainty.
