Pakistan Election Result 2024 Live: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Friday said its supremo Nawaz Sharif is set to deliver a "victory speech" after the final results of the general elections and that it is in contact with the independent candidates backed by jailed former premier Imran Khan's party.

Pakistan on Thursday held the general elections marred by allegations of rigging, sporadic violence and a countrywide mobile phone shutdown.

Pakistan's authorities were moving at a snail's pace to announce the election results and the first official results were announced by the Election Commission of Pakistan after facing a barrage of criticism by the parties, especially by Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which accused that its mandate was being stolen.
