In the theatre of Pakistani politics, last week’s election has unfolded as a perplexing drama, leaving citizens and global observers questioning the trajectory of the country’s democratic journey.

Nawaz Sharif's PML-N has won 63 and Zardari's PPP has managed 50 seats as final results are still being awaited.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday cast his vote at a polling station in Lahore, Pakistan-based ARY News reported.
The decision of the Home Department prompted the Imran Khan government to offer Sharif to arrange his return to Pakistan at a notice of 24 hours if he is willing.
On Friday, Lahore's Additional District and Sessions Court took up Shahbaz Sharif's application for early hearing on June 10 in which he pleaded that Imran Khan failed to file a written reply for the last three years causing no substantial proceedings in the case.
Last year, Shehbaz stepped down as Public Account Committee chief and nominated his party’s MNA from Sheikhupura Rana Tanvir Hussain as his replacement.
The 70-year-old former Prime Minister is in the UK for his medical treatment.
The NAB Lahore on Friday also initiated another probe against Nawaz, Shahbaz and Maryam for acquiring thousands of kanals in violation of rules making it part of their Jati Umra Raiwind Lahore residence.
