5. Who will be Pakistan’s next Prime Minister?
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which has emerged as the single largest party, is trailing with 72 seats, followed by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) at 52 seats.
None of the three major parties of the country will win the necessary 169 seats to have a majority in parliament and, therefore, will be unable to form government on their own.
Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said that he anticipated a coalition government in the country as there is a high possibility of a hung Parliament. As votes are still being counted two days after the general election, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said that blocking communication channels and social media had no political motive as it was done because of the security situation.
