Pakistan prime minister-in-waiting Imran Khan's party is eyeing to form government in Punjab, the most populated province of the country, with the help of independents even as its rival, jailed former premier Nawaz Sharif's party, is slightly ahead of it in the number game.
With 127 seats won, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which ruled the province of over 100 million population for the last two terms from 2008-2018, has failed to secure simple majority to form the government in Punjab.
In the 297-member House, 149 seats are required to form the government.
