The final vote count was announced more than 60 hours after the polls closed.

Islamabad:

Counting votes in Pakistan’s national election ended on Sunday, with independents winning 101 of 264 seats, most backed by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Election Commission website showed.

The Independence Party was followed by the party of another former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, which won 75 seats, making it the largest single party in parliament as Khan’s Independence Party ran as an individual.

The final tally came more than 60 hours after polls closed in the national election on Thursday, a delay that raised questions about the voting process.
