Even after the final announcement of election results in Pakistan, no party has been able to form the government yet. Nawaz Sharif's PML-N, as the largest party, won 75 seats. Till now Nawaz was claiming to form the government. After this he once again proposed his brother and former PM Shehbaz Sharif as the PM candidate, but due to not getting enough support to form the government, everyone is in confusion. Meanwhile, former PM Imran Khan, who won the most seats in the elections, has expressed his desire to form the government. He has also declared his close leader Omar Ayub as the PM candidate. Imran's leaders have won a total of 101 seats as independent candidates. But they will need at least 35 more MPs.
Let us tell you that due to legal reasons, the party of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had fielded its leaders as independent candidates. Imran Khan is currently in jail. He has made his party leader Omar Ayub the PM candidate.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) party has named General Secretary Omar Ayub as its prime ministerial candidate, Reuters reports. A leader of his party confirmed this on Thursday.
What will be the equations?
Any party needs 136 seats to form the government in the 271-seat National Assembly of Pakistan. But Imran's leaders won 101 seats. However, Imran is now officially left with only 92 candidates. In such a situation, he will need the support of some party to form the government. Imran Khan's party PTI this time fielded its candidates as independents, making them the largest group. However, technically they cannot form a government on their own. Because he is present there not as a party, but as an individual. Let us tell you that former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto's party has also got 54 seats in this election.
