Imran announces to take oath as PM on 11th, name KP CM by Tuesday

PESHAWAR: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Sunday announced to take oath for premiership on August 11 and name chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within the next 48 hours, ARY News reported.

“I have also decided about chief minister of KP 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 KP.

He asked the KP MPAs nobody should try to lobby for anyone as he would not be blackmailed for the chief minister’s name.

The PTI chief also said his first priority was to eradicate poverty from interior Sindh.

Earlier, PTI spokesman Naeemul Haque on Saturday told reporters that party chief Imran Khan will take oath as prime minister before August 14.

He said that he hoped the president would call an assembly session and Imran Khan would take oath as premier before Independence day.

“We are receiving messages from around the world, people want to see Imran Khan as premier so he can implement his master-plan,” he said.

It is pertinent to note here that the PTI has emerged as the largest political party in the country after the July 25 general elections, winning 115 of the 270 National Assembly seats on which the elections were held.

The party, however, is short of the 137 needed for simple majority and is trying to woo independents to join the party.
