ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was formally nominated on Monday as the party’s official candidate for the post of prime minister.
The resolution nominating him was presented by Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the PTI’s first parliamentary committee meeting in Islamabad.
The resolution was accepted by all the party’s leaders, who congratulated Khan on the nomination.
“The issues over why the nation voted us into power need to be addressed as a priority,” he said at the meeting.
“The country is in an economic crisis and we need to steer it out of it. We will approach overseas Pakistanis for repayment of debts.”

SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signaled the country will continue to develop missiles in the next five years, as he visited major munitions enterprises in the last quarter of 2025, state media KCNA said on Friday.
Kim said “the country’s missile and shell production sector is of paramount importance in bolstering war deterrent,” according to KCNA.
Kim ratified draft documents for the modernization of major munitions enterprises to be submitted to a key party congress expected to be held in early 2026, KCNA said, which will set a development plan for North Korea for the next five years.
The KCNA report follows Thursday’s reveal of Kim overseeing the construction of an 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine with his daughter, a potential heir, and the test-firing of long-range surface-to-air missiles.
