Former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan is all set to take the oath as Prime Minister of Pakistan as his party has achieved the maximum votes in the general elections. Reportedly, Imran’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has invited many prominent people for the swearing-in ceremony on August 11. Imran’s party spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said that former cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Navjot Singh Sidhu have been invited along with Aamir.

A party official had earlier said that PTI is considering inviting the leaders of SAARC countries including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but an invite has not been extended so far as the oath-taking ceremony is a “sensitive matter”.

Imran has been active in Pakistan politics for several years now but never received the popular mandate to form the government. However, this time around the 65-year-old Khan’s party has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly after the July 25 elections. However, the party has not received a majority and is now looking for support to form a coalition government with the help of small independent parties.
