Pakistan's Election Commission has officially declared former cricket star Imran Khan's party the winner of Pakistan's historic third consecutive election of a civilian government, but he did not win an outright majority and must form a coalition government.
Khan's party bagged 114 of the 270 seats. His Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was followed by jailed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) with 65 seats and former president Asif Ali Zardari's Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) by 42 seats, according to the election commission which issued results for 263 seats of the National Assembly yesterday.
