On Friday, 176 members of the National Assembly voted for him in the country's parliament. Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, now shaky with the bat and ball, has now got the power to rule the country.
Imran Khan's rival candidate for the post of prime minister was Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif. In the voting, 96 members of the National Assembly voted for Shahbaz.
Imran's team, PTI, won the maximum number of 117 seats in the Pakistan National Assembly elections on July 25. However, due to the lack of necessary 137 seats for the formation of the government, the PTI will be forming a coalition government with small parties and independent candidates.
