Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has secured 116 seats in the National Assembly but due to the support of independents and Pakistan faction of Muttahida Qaumi Movement, it is in a comfortable position to form government at the federal level.
Moreover, the party has also vowed that it would form a government in Punjab owing to the inclusion of independent candidates who are being convinced by the party leader, Jahangir Khan Tareen.
Imran Khan’s party had clinched 123 seats in Pakistan’s most populous province, overthrowing the decade-long rule of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz.
The PTI chief is likely to take oath as next PM on August 14.
