"Pakistan's Uncertain Future: Navigating Governance After a Tumultuous Election"

Pakistan's recent parliamentary elections resulted in no clear winner, with Imran Khan's party winning the most seats but not enough to form a government. The other two mainstream parties also fell short of a majority, leading to uncertainty about the next prime minister. Legal challenges, protests, and allegations of vote-rigging have marred the election, while coalition talks are underway. The international community and rights groups have expressed concern about voting irregularities, and the inauguration of the new National Assembly is set to take place by Feb. 29.
