Pakistan's Khan set for coalition talks as full vote count announced

Khan has offered to investigate any claims of irregularities in the wake of Wednesday's poll, which Sharif's PML-N and several other parties allege was skewed in favour of the former cricket hero by Pakistan's powerful military.

Khan's 116 seats in Parliament puts him short of the 137 seats needed for a majority in the National Assembly, meaning he is likely to need a multi-party coalition with religious parties and independents to form a government.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday released results for 270 races, with elections in two seats postponed.
