The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday nominated former minister Omar Ayub as its candidate for the Prime Minister's post. Former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser made this announcement while addressing the media outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, following a meeting with PTI founder Imran Khan. 

Qaiser expressed hope

Expressing his optimism, Qaiser expressed his hope for the Prime Minister to emerge from the PTI, citing concerns over the alleged theft of the party's mandate during the recent elections. 

Meanwhile, Independent candidates backed by former PM Imran Khan have won 92 seats in the election, making them the largest group, but they cannot form a government on their own, having run as individuals and not a party. 

More details awaited
