Pakistan- March 6th

This week’s Senate elections saw many victories for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party which took control of Senate representation for both the federal capital and the seats of the Punjab province. However, the minority Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party which protested against Sharif’s government last August won seats for the Kybher Paktunkhwa (KPK) region, which borders Afghanistan and was the site of the December terrorist attack on a military school.
