Pakistan swears in newly elected members of parliament including Imran Khan

Pakistan's World Cup cricket hero Imran Khan will be sworn in as prime minister next week, his party said Friday, announcing it has the numbers to form a coalition government in the nuclear-armed nation. Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said the entire squad that Khan captained to victory in the 1992 World Cup were invited to the ceremony, as well as Indian cricket greats Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Navjot Singh Sidhu. PTI emerged victorious in the July 25 elections, the country's second-ever democratic transition of power, but fell short of an outright majority. The party confirmed Friday that it has secured the numbers for a majority in the lower house of parliament. Khan has already vowed to rebalance Islamabad's relationship with the US, months after US President Donald Trump suspended security aid over Islamabad's alleged failure to target militancy along its borders.
