The results of the Pakistani elections constituted a real shock to many political, military, and even media circles. The fragmentation and dispersion of the popular mandate that was distributed among political parties in these elections deprived any party of forming the central government.

This will force the political parties to ally with each other, and perhaps to allies with their opponents, to form coalition governments. It is clear that the revolving door policy is what brings together Pakistani politicians. Nawaz Sharif, 74 years old and returning from his exile in London, announced in his victory speech his intention to form a government.
