The PTI has said that the best option for the PML-N is to “accept [its] defeat gracefully” and let their party founder Imran Khan “fix and heal the country”.

In a post on X, the party’s official account asked, “Can anyone from PML-N camp explain how PML-N won only 17 seats and what are they supposed to do with newspaper headlines that Nawaz Sharif be PM?”

It should be mentioned that Nawaz has nominated his brother and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif for the role of the prime minister.
