PTI will form next government, says Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan has predicted that his party will be forming the next government in Pakistan.

“My hunch is the government will change this year. The good news is, it’s going to be PTI [that will come in power],” the PTI chairman said at an investment roadshow for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in Dubai.

“In my political experience in the last 18 years, this [PTI’s success in the 2013 elections] is the only time a party has broken the two-party system [in Pakistan]. It [PTI] is the biggest in all four provinces,” Gulf News,a Dubai-based daily quoted Imran as saying.

“The Americans are leaving, and with them leaving Afghanistan, the violence is already coming down. In the last year, we had the least amount of violence compared to the past five years,” he said.

“Looking ahead, in Afghanistan I have hopes for [President Ashraf] Ghani’s government. Ghani is a man of integrity,” he added.

The PTI Chief claimed his party is rooting out corruption in the province as well.
