Pakistan Election 2013 l Nawaz Sharif government in Pakistan should form


Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was available Sunday to form a new coalition government after his party's victory in Saturday's election, marked by a strong participation and some attacks. The return to power of a man of 63 years deposed by the coup of Pervez Musharraf in 1999, has yet to be officially confirmed by the electoral commission , but the partial results gave victory for granted. His main rival, the Movement for Justice (PTI) exestrella of cricket Imran Khan, who won the support of many young and middle class by promising to end corruption in the country, conceded defeat nationally . The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led coalition in power for five years, suffered a major setback to the point of being virtually eliminated from the political map of the country, sxcept in their stronghold in the southern province of Sindh. The elections were considered historic because it will allow a civilian government to pass the baton to another, having completed a five-year term, a novelty in this country created in 1947 and with a history marked by coups. Participation in the election was "about 60%" , said Saturday night the electoral commission. This is the turnout highest since 1977, according to election officials. During the last elections in 2008, the turnout of 44%. More than 86 million people were enabled to vote to appoint 342 deputies and representatives in four provincial assemblies. According to projections from the television channels, the Muslim League (PML-N) won a commanding lead Sharif on PTI (Movement for Justice) Imran Khan and the PPP of Bhutto family. After scrutinized more than half of the votes, the Pakistani TV channels said Sharif's party would get more than 115 seats out of 272 . About thirty would go to PTI and as many at PPP. The PML-N is thus achieved an absolute majority, and should enter into negotiations with the other parties to form a coalition. "We have to thank God for having given the PML-N another opportunity to serve Pakistan," Sharif said. I urge all parties to sit around a table with me to solve the country's problems, "he said. The arrival of Sharif for the third time as prime minister in Pakistan constitute a record, having held the office between 1990 and 1993, until it fell for corruption, and between 1997 and 1999, when he was overthrown by the military coup Musharraf. More than 130 people died during the election campaign , considered by observers as the deadliest in the history of the country , in violence largely claimed by the Taliban Movement of Pakistan (TTP) opposed to the democratic process as "not Islamic". The TTP had announced a cascade of attacks on polling day, protected by over 600,000 members of the security forces. Nevertheless, the attacks were of limited magnitude on Saturday, but left 26 dead.
