Pakistanis begin voting in a knife-edge general election between former cricketer Imran Khan against the party of jailed ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The polls are now open in Pakistan, where the country is voting in its most controversial election in years.
At the forefront: cricket hero Imran Khan and the party of jailed ex-Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif.
Though Khan was a slight favourite in national polls, neither of them are clear winners yet.
And whoever wins will be handed a mountain of problems facing the country.
From the economic crisis and a deepening water shortage to mounting pressure from Washington over Afghanistan.
But the election itself has been largely overshadowed by startling allegations against the country's military.
It's being accused of trying to tilt the race in Khan's favour after falling out with Sharif's outgoing ruling party.
The race will likely come down to Punjab, the country's most populous province, where Sharif's party has been clinging to its lead.
