Pakistan: Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declares himself election winner. All of the votes in the election in Pakistan have not yet been counted - but former Prime Minister Sharif wants to investigate.
Militant attacks killed 28 people in Thursday's elections. Analysts had predicted there would be no clear winner, further exacerbating problems for a country recovering from an economic crisis while grappling with rising militant violence in a highly polarized political environment. The 74-year-old Sharif, a three-time former prime minister, returned late last year from a four-year self-imposed exile in the UK.
