Imran Khan continues to dominate public space with his speeches. Even digital spaces. In fact, he broke a record for ‘Twitter Spaces’.
This is the first time he garnered more than threefold what was the previous record. The former prime minister had over 165,000 people listening on his Twitter Space.
While the previous record was 45,000 listeners, in a K-pop artist’s space.
Lately, Twitter introduced a new feature called ‘Twitter Space’. These digital spaces are where live audio conversations happen. People can find a topic that interests them and join the space to listen in. According to the micro-blogging site, Twitter;
“These ephemeral, live audio conversations allow for open, authentic, and unfiltered discussions, and there’s a Space for any and every topic and conversation, from small and intimate to millions of listeners.”
More than a space for information or discussion, these digital spaces provide an online community for people to connect.
As the political state of the country remains a burning topic of discussion among the public, it makes sense that such discourse is finding its way online. Particularly with all the support the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman has garnered in person at his rallies, it only makes sense that he’s pushing the threshold for maximum capacity in his digital addresses.
As people rally all over Pakistan in support of the ‘Kaptaan’, even overseas Pakistanis are protesting the no-confidence motion against the former prime minister.
