Omer Ayub Khan, who has been nominated as the PTI’s candidate for prime minister, says his first priority would be to free all political prisoners including Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi and other PTI workers.

In a social media post, he said: “PTI will contest and inshallah win the PM election in the National Assembly as we have won with 180 seats in the General Elections 2024.”

“PTI as a party will work for strengthening democratic institutions in Pakistan so that the country’s economy can be put on a path of positive trajectory and we can initiate our reforms programme to benefit the people of Pakistan,” Ayub added.
