Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz are locked in a battle to form the next Punjab government after both failed to win an outright majority in the country’s biggest provincial assembly.
In the Punjab Assembly PML-N leads with 127 seats, while PTI is a close second with 122 seats, as per the ECP’s results of 294 out of 295 total seats.
PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz Sharif claimed that his party will form the next government.
Despite massive rigging, the party emerged the biggest winner in Punjab. Majority of the 27 independent candidates are standing with us,” Hamza claimed. “We will speak to PPP and PML-Q as well.”
Meanwhile, PTI leader Naeemul Haq in a media talk said that his party has the required numbers to make the next government in Punjab.
“There is no doubt that PML-N has the lead but the assembly’s majority is with us,” he added.
Both the parties have started making contacts with the independent candidates to garner maximum support to win Punjab Assembly.
