Exit Polls show Congress surge in Haryana, NC+ alliance lead in J&K
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has declared victory in the national elections, asserting that his political party emerged as the largest in the vote. The counting process is still ongoing for the remaining seats among the 265 that were up for grabs in the polls. Mr. Sharif refrained from disclosing the precise number of seats his party secured.
The Election Commission's latest count reveals that Mr. Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has secured 42 seats, falling significantly short of the 133 seats required to independently form a government. However, Mr. Sharif announced that his party representatives would engage with other political entities later in the day to explore the possibility of forming a coalition government, indicating potential political maneuvering in the days to come.
