Omar Ayub Khan is Imran Khan's declared contender for prime minister in Pakistan, where he has 101 independent members of parliament.
101 independent candidates who were backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, which is led by imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan and has been found guilty of corruption, became victorious in the country's most recent general elections.
In this instance, Imran Khan declared Omar Ayub Khan the Pakistani prime ministerial candidate yesterday, backed by 101 independent members of parliament. Uncertainty over the party behind Imran is adding to the agitation surrounding this abrupt statement in Pakistan's political circles. Shebaz Sharif was declared as the prime ministerial candidate earlier in the day after Pakistan, the Muslim League, and the Pakistan People's Party opted to form a coalition administration.
