When will we know who is the next Prime Minister of Pakistan?

Polling is over for perhaps the most contentious elections in Pakistan’s history, and now the nation is waiting for the results for Pakistan’s general elections.

But when will we know who their next Prime Minister will be?

Not anytime soon, unfortunately.

Here’s how it works. The results as yet are unofficial. Official results are being compiled by ECP and will take a while to tabulate.
Once the votes are counted, the parliament will take oath. Then the house will hold election for Prime Minister and the candidate who has the majority of legislators behind him, he wins.

We know that PML-N candidate for Prime Minister is Nawaz Sharif while for PPP its Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

Could a dark horse become our Premier? We’ll know in a few short days.
