How Imran Khan Is Campaigning from Jail in Pakistan

Reuters: “The party has used generative AI to create footage of Khan, its founder, reading speeches he conveyed to lawyers from his prison cell, urging supporters to turn out on election day. It has organized online rallies on social media that have been watched by several hundred thousand people at a time, according to YouTube data.”

“Khan, who was barred by a court from holding political office last year, is not the first Pakistani leader to be imprisoned during a campaign. But PTI’s ability to tap into new technology and the former cricketer’s personal popularity have kept him in the headlines.”
