Famous Pakistanis who voted

While many predicted a low voter turnout, it seems literally the entire country was standing in queues outside polling stations today in solidarity with a democratic Pakistan. Men, women, transgender people, elderly, differently-abled – you name it and they were there, patiently awaiting their turn to stamp the ballot.

When such an overwhelming number of Pakistanis came out to support  democracy, it was only natural for the who’s who of the country to also flaunt their inked thumbs.

The most encouraging part is that not only did these famous Pakistanis caste their votes but they also appealed to the millions of people who adore them to follow suit.

Take the case of veteran Pakistan actress, Samina Peerzada for instance. She began the day with tweeting this lovely picture…

…And then followed the image with equally endearing messages for her fans.

As the day progressed more and more celebrities flooded the Twitter timeline with similar pictures and messages.

Among the politicians, perhaps Bilawal Bhutto put out the most endearing tweet after casting his vote. 

Former Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif is not on Twitter but this picture of him awaiting his turn outside a polling station went viral anyway!

The next few hours will decide the names of those who will rule us for the next five years. No matter who wins, in this moment let’s all celebrate that today, Pakistan stood for democracy!
