ISLAMABAD -- The party of Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan is stepping up protests against elections it claims were rigged, even drawing support from an influential ex-rival.
A coalition government led by former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to take power in the coming days. Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) won 75 seats in the Feb. 8 elections and has aligned with several parties including the Pakistan People's Party, which won 54.
