Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared victory in Pakistan's national elections, asserting his party's emergence as the largest but falling short of the 133 seats needed for a majority. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured 61 seats, prompting Sharif to pursue coalition talks. As counting continued for the 265 seats, Sharif announced plans for his deputies to meet with other party leaders, including former president Asif Ali Zardari of the Pakistan Peoples Party, to explore forming a coalition government. The outcome suggests a hung verdict, signaling a potential shift in Pakistan's political landscape.
