As Pakistan's national elections have resulted in a hung parliament with no party having clear majority, this has ignited a scramble amongst political parties members to chalk out the post-poll stratefy to form the next government.

While Nawaz Sharif's party -- PML-N -- led by his brother Shehbaz Sharif, has begun consulting with other parties to explore coalition possibilities, Bilawal Bhutto's PPP is also strategizing and holding key meetings in Lahore and Islamabad, according to reports by Dawn.

Meanwhile, Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has taken a different approach, calling for nationwide protests alleging 'stolen' votes.

Meanwhile, Imran Khan's confidante Gohar Ali Khan claimed the President Arif Alvi will still invite PTI to form a government, despite independent candidates, mostly backed by Khan, alleging rigged poll counts.

Millions of Pakistanis, out of roughly 128 million eligible voters, exercised their right to choose their representatives in the midst of countrywide internet and mobile shutdown, sporadic political violence and deadly terror attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
