Imran Khan said on Monday that he will take oath as Prime Minister on August 11, even as his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party was striving to get the required numbers to form a Government.
The PTI, led by 65-year-old Khan, has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly after the July 25 elections, but it is still short of numbers to form the government on its own. Khan’s party yesterday announced that it is trying to reach out to smaller parties and independents to form the next government.
Khan said he will take oath as Prime Minister on 11th of next month (August), state-run Radio Pakistan reported.
“I have also decided about chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which I will announce in the next 48 hours. Whatever I have decided in this regard is in the best interest of people,” he said while addressing PTI members of provincial assembly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
