"Pakistan's Post-Election Crisis: Youth's Rebuke, Khan's Backing, and Authoritarian Upset"

Talks of a coalition between the Sharif and Bhutto parties are ongoing, with the military's likely backing. It's uncertain whether Khan's PTI will form a government, and concerns about result manipulation have been raised. The military's influence and the potential impact on markets are key factors in the aftermath of the disputed election.
