Nawaz Sharif is on course to become Pakistan's prime minister, as reports projected his party to win an imposing 130 of the 137 seats it needs for a majority. Sharif said he would form a coalition with minority groups to make up the remaining seats.
Pakistan's ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif says his party is the clear winner in election, but adds that he hopes for majority to avoid a coalition.
His should be a stable government for he will not need any other party bloc to form a coalition; a few independents will do.
