PAKISTAN ELECTIONS AND INDIA The results of Pakistan’s general elections are officially out and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led by Imran Khan has emerged as the single largest party with 115 out of the 270 seats of the national assembly for which polling was held. The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Sharif (PML[N]) came a distant second with 64 seats, and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) of Zardari Bhutto family stood third with 43 seats. The remaining seats are shared by smaller regional and fundamentalist parties as well as by independents. With support from some smaller groups/parties, Imran Khan is expected to form the government.
