ISLAMABAD -- Former cricket star Imran Khan declared victory on Thursday in Pakistan's general election, as a partial count gave him a big lead but final results were delayed and opponents alleged vote rigging.

"This will be the first government that will not carry out any political victimisation," Khan said in a speech on Thursday.

Supporters of jailed ex-premier Nawaz Sharif said there were problems with the vote count and the process was an assault on democracy in a country that has a history of military rule.
