Independent candidates backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan are leading the count in Pakistan\'s election, as Khan\'s party was barred from contesting as a bloc. Unofficial tallies by local TV channels show independent candidates, including those anointed by Khan\'s party, leading in most constituencies. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was expected to win the most seats, but local TV channels report that the party performed poorly, with its founder Nawaz Sharif trailing in one constituency.
