Imran Khan on track to become next PM of Pakistan

Early results from Pakistan's election suggest ex-cricket star Imran Khan is on course to become prime minister. With nearly half the votes counted from Wednesday's parliamentary election, Imran Khan's PTI party is in the lead. It is expected to fall short of an overall majority and to seek coalition partners. Officials deny claims of vote rigging made by Khan's rivals. Campaigning has been marred by violence. On the voting day a bomb killed 31 people at a polling station. With votes counted in 49% of stations, Khan's PTI party was leading in 119 of the 272 National Assembly constituencies being contested. A total of 137 seats is required for a majority. COURTESY: BBC
