Protests take place across Pakistan amid election vote-rigging allegations

Police fire teargas on supporters of Imran Khan amid turmoil as several parties claim they would be forming government

Police fired teargas to disperse supporters of Imran Khan as protests broke out across Pakistan amid allegations of widespread vote-rigging targeting the former prime minister's political party and other nationalist groups in the general election.

The results of the election, which took place on Thursday, gave a surprise first place to Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, which won the most seats despite facing a stringent crackdown by the country's powerful military establishment.
