Restored judges to decide on Mush’s future: Sharif
| Bhutto’s PPP (87) largest party followed by Sharif’s PML-N (66) | Opposition parties dealt a crushing electoral blow to allies of President Pervez Musharraf by winning enough seats to form a new government. Musharraf, however, refused to quit office even as his opponents urged him to resign. |
| Islamabad, February 19 Even as pro-Musharraf party PML-Q was today routed in Pakistan’s parliamentary polls which threw up a hung assembly, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) emerged the single largest party with 87 of 269 National Assembly seats for which elections were held while Pakistan Muslim League-N, headed by Sharif, two-time prime minister who was toppled in a bloodless coup by President Pervez Musharraf in 1999, got 66, providing a clear majority if they come together.
