Pakistan Election 2018 Results In Five Points
NEW DELHI: The Election Commission of Pakistan early on Friday announced 95 per cent of the provisional results for the National and four provincial assemblies where PTI has emerged as the single largest party. The result shows some stunning upset results for many influential political parties. They politicians, which include Shahbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, are now likely to come together and cry foul over the way the votes were counted and announced after long delays.
The PTI won 109 of the 269 seats contested in the National Assembly (NA).
Shehbaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) won 63 seats. He had earlier rejected the results, alleging widespread fraud and manipulation.
The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) landed on the third place with 39 seats.
For the remaining 20 seats, the result is still pending as votes are still being counted.
