Pakistan dissolves parliament as election-delay speculation mounts August 09, 2023 at 11:10PM

Pakistan has dissolved its national parliament, moving on to form a caretaker administration to lead elections. Speculation is rife that polls could be postponed to next year. The delay could enable Sharif's ruling PML-N party to gain ground in opinion polls after Imran Khan was jailed last week for hiding the proceeds from the sale of state gifts during his time in office.
