Two family-controlled parties in Pakistan have agreed to form a coalition government to elect Shehbaz Sharif as the next prime minister, sidelining Imran Khan s group, which won the most seats in contentious elections.
Imran Khan confirmed on Friday that he had sent a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) demanding that it hold an audit of the election results before approving any new loan for Islamabad, The News International reported.
Khan's Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party on Friday approached the Supreme Court challenging the outcome of the elections alleging widespread rigging.
In a dramatic development after the February 8 polls in Pakistan, former Rawalpindi commissioner Liaqat Ali Chatha withdrew all his allegations regarding rigging, Geo News reported.
