Pakistan's ruling party "coalition government with Shahbaz Sharif as prime minister candidate" Opposition party led by former Prime Minister Khan, a former cricket star, is said to have won the most seats, and chaos is expected due to backlash from supporters. In Pakistan's general election held on the 8th of this month, the ruling party won only 75 seats, making it a majority.

Since the proposal was not received, negotiations have been underway to form a coalition. The ruling party has also nominated his younger brother Shahbz Sharif as its candidate for prime minister.
