A week after a leaked audio recording of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders was released, another one surfaced on Friday purportedly featuring party chief Imran Khan talking about 'buying' MNAs. In the 0.45-second audio, a voice attributed to the former prime minister can be heard and he is apparently talking about 'horse-trading' - a political practice involving 'buying' MNAs before crucial votes in the assembly. The audio starts with Imran purportedly stating “don’t think everything is over", a possible reference to the vote of no confidence in March this year. “I am buying five [MNAs], I have five [MNAs],” the voice believed to be of Imran's states. The game will be in our hands.”Towards the end of the audio, Imran can be heard saying that the nation is alarmed at the moment and wants “us” to win in any way.
