The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), led by 65-year-old Imran Khan, the cricketer turned politician's party has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly (NA) after the July 25 elections, but it is still short of numbers to form the government on its own. His party yesterday announced that it is trying to reach out to smaller parties and independents to form the next government. "I will take oath as Prime Minister on 11th of next month (August), Khan was quoted as saying by Radio Pakistan.

"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 the provincial assembly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He said alleviation of poverty from interior Sindh will be among top priorities of his government.
