/ Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced his victory in the general elections on Friday, over his rival, imprisoned opposition leader Imran Khan, but he acknowledged the difficulty of his party forming a new Pakistani government.
The Pakistani Prime Minister said on Friday that his party did not obtain a clear majority in parliament, which makes it unable to form a government on its own.
The elections witnessed a fierce competition between former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his rival, opposition leader Imran Khan, who is in prison on charges of treason, illicit gains and illegal marriage.
Pakistani authorities were unusually late in announcing the results, with the government blaming the delay on the suspension of mobile phone services.
