Hundreds protest Pakistan's election results in London

Hundreds of students and members of the Pakistani community gathered on Monday outside the embassy in London to protest against the recent vote in Pakistan, which they say was rigged.

Last Saturday's election saw the victory of Nawaz Sharif, the head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

Sharif denied allegations of rigging and asked Imran Khan, former national cricket captain and leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI), to "show the sportsman's spirit" and to accept his defeat.

In Pakistan hundreds of PTI supporters held demonstrations in Lahore and Karachi calling for re-polling. (NewsPoint)
