Ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's PMLN and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's PPP issued a statement saying they planned to work together to bring political stability. But the final results in the country's general election have put independent candidates backed by jailed ex-PM Imran Khan's PTI party in the lead. There have been protests by Imran Khan supporters, directed to take to the streets to raise their voice about the results.
