Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan’s PTI has nominated Omar Ayub to be the next prime minister

Local media sources state that Omar Ayub, the party secretary general, has been nominated by Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as its prime ministerial candidate.

The biggest group consists of the independent candidates supported by PTI. Even though independents received 101 seats in the national parliament, only a recognized party or coalition of parties is able to create a government, therefore in order for them to form a meaningful bloc, they would need to join another organization.

The declaration coincides with efforts to create a coalition government by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N.
