Imran Khan has begun building a ruling coalition as Pakistan's leader-elect faces daunting troubles ranging from doubts over his legitimacy to a looming economic crisis. Almost three days after polling finished, the final tally of results gave Mr Khan's party 116 of the 270 National Assembly seats on offer, putting him within easy reach of a majority.

Yet when the glow of victory fades, he faces a grim to-do list likely to test the the high expectations raised in his passionate young supporters, analysts told the Telegraph. The immediate priority is to deal with Pakistan's economic woes. “The greatest challenge is the economy, everyone knows that. We need a Pakistan that is self-sustaining,” Gen Talat Masud, a former general and commentator said. The newcomer will have to move fast...
