What next?

The victory of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Hamza Shahbaz in today’s runoff election has closed the door to former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s fightback to power for now.

However, there are signs Khan’s party will move court over the matter. His supporters in the provincial assembly vociferously the speaker over the rejection of PML-Q votes, and said they would move court.

As well, the firebrand Khan and his followers are likely to cry foul over the outcome, hurling all kinds of nasty allegations all around. All in all, we are all set to descend into a political turmoil afresh.
