ISLAMABAD: The recently held general elections put cricket star-turned politician Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in a comfortable position to form government at the Centre, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with the help of independents and small coalition partners.
With the PTI scooping 115 seats in the 272-member lower house of parliament, Khan is set to be elected as 21st prime minister of the country.
The PTI chief has directed that his oath-taking should be arranged at a simple and austere ceremony at the President House as no foreign dignitaries, players or actors are being invited for the purpose. No date for the oath-taking has been finalised yet.
However, he has decided to invite members of the Pakistan team which lifted world cup in 1992 under his captaincy to the oath-taking ceremony.
The champions – Waseem Akram, Javed Miandad, Ramiz Raja, Aamir Sohail, , Aqib Javed, Inzamam-ul-Haq Saleem Malik, Eijaz Ahmed, Moin Khan, Mushtaq Ahmed, Zahid Fazal, Wasim Haider and Iqbal Sikander are likely to be invited for the ceremony.
