Pakistan election updates: What happens next?

Pakistan's parliamentary elections left no clear winner. None of the country's three biggest parties secured enough seats to form a government on their own, so they have to enter a coalition. The party of imprisoned ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan said it doesn't want or need an alliance. Talks are already underway among its rivals to shore up enough seats to control a majority. People are angry about the election results and alleging pre-poll rigging. Legal challenges have started in some constituencies.

Candidates backed by Khan won more seats than the political parties who ousted him from power nearly two years ago, according to the final tally published Sunday. However, no party won a majority, so the parties will have to hold talks on forming a coalition government.
