Islamabad: Former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan is set to be the new Prime Minister of Pakistan after his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf is leading with 119 votes. The party tweeted that "Yahaan Ka mausam badalnay wala hai, Yahaan koi aanay wala hai (Winds of Change are about to strike Pakistan. Someone is coming to bring the change.)

Addressing the press conference, Imran Khan said: “I came into politics 22 years ago because I believed that the potential of our country was not being realised. The Pakistan that I saw growing up deteriorated in front of my very eyes.”

Imran Khan thanked Allah for the opportunity to serve the nation. “Through its ups and downs; I am grateful for being given this chance,” he said.

Imran Khan said he came into politics because he wanted Pakistan to become the country that Jinnah had envisioned.

"I just want to say a few things about the kind of Pakistan I want to see. My inspiration is our Prophet (PBUH)



who believed in a welfare state; where we take responsibility for our weak," he added.

He called the 2018 general elections in Pakistan “historic”.

"This election has been historic; people have sacrificed so much. I especially want to thank the people of Balochistan who despite terrorism came out in huge numbers to vote," he said.

Thanking the voters for the turnout Imran Khan said, "The scenes I saw on TV; the way overseas Pakistanis came, the elderly, the young. I want to salute them all because they have made our democracy evolve and progress."

Imran Khan said, "Our policies is to lift our most poor. Our labourers, our farmers who don’t even make enough money to feed their children properly. Majority of our children suffer from stunted growth."

"We don’t give our children the opportunities to excel. 2.5 crore kids are out of school in our country; this is more than the population of some countries," Imran Khan said.
