“I love you too […] I can see the light and sparkle in your eyes today,” PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif said in a pre-mature victory speech as the ECP is yet to release all the results of the Feb 8 elections.

“We are all congratulating today because in these elections PML-N has emerged as the largest party in the country,” he claimed.

Nawaz stressed that there was a need for all the political parties to come together and work on pulling Pakistan out of crisis.
