President Mamnoon Hussain sets the ball rolling for PM Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD - President Mamnoon Hussian has set the ball rolling for the next government formation in Pakistan which is likely to be led by Imran Khan.

The inaugural session of newly elected National Assembly has been summoned which would ultimately select the new Prime Minister of Pakistan.

It will be held on Monday August 13 after President Mamnoon approved the summary moved by Caretaker Prime Minister Justice (Retd) Nasir-ul-Malk Thursday requesting the President to convene the session.

The newly elected members of the lower house of the parliament would take oath in the session after which they would elect leader of the house-Prime Minister of the country.

The PTI is likely to get Imran Khan elected as the next prime minister of Pakistan after it became clear that the party has secured majority of the seats in the assembly and enjoys support of independently elected MNAs and coalition partners .
