Party: Imran Khan to be confirmed as Pakistan PM before Aug 14

Islamabad, Jul 29 Imran Khan will be confirmed as Pakistan's new Prime Minister before the nation's independence day on August 14, his party has declared as it is attempting to connect with smaller parties and independents to form the next government.

Though the Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf (PTI) has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly after the July 25 races, the gathering is still shy of numbers to shape its government all alone.

PTI pioneer Naeenul Haq told media the previous evening that meetings are on to finish the number game.

"We have gotten our work done and he will take pledge as Prime Minister before August 14, Haq said.

As indicated by the complete preliminary results announced by the ECP, the PTI has acquired 115 general seats 12 shy of a basic greater part while the PML-N and PPP have won 64 and 43 seats, separately.

Pakistan's NA - the lower place of Parliament - includes a sum of 342 members, of which 272 are straightforwardly chosen. A gathering can just frame the administration in the event that it figures out how to anchor 172 seats in total.

Meanwhile, political activities are at full swing and parties are holding open meetings and secret parleys to arrange the political chessboard.

Pakistan's two major parties - the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are relied upon to meet in a few days to devise a joint procedure in an offer to give a tough time to the PTI in parliament, the Dawn reported.

The Pakistani electronic media for the duration of the day yesterday continued saying names of conceivable possibility for key government workplaces and possible members of the federal cabinet.

The PTI leaders who have won more than one seat should clear extra seats as the law enables a person to hold just a single seat.
