Imran Khan claims victory in Pakistan Assembly elections

The Election Commission of Pakistan has released the official results of the nation's general elections. Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has emerged as the single-largest party with 119 seats followed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz with 63 seats. Bilawal Bhutto-led Pakistan Peoples Party has won 43 seats.

The PTI is still short of majority as it hasn't reached the halfway



mark of 137 seats. It is clear that a coalition government will be formed because none of the parties meet the halfway mark.

Pakistan voted to elect its new prime minister on July 25. Early trends had shown PTI leading ahead of the Shehbaz Sharif led PMLN and the PPP. On Thursday itself, Imran Khan declared his victory in Pakistan.
