Omar Ayub introduced as Pakistan's PM nominee by Imran Khan

MojNews-Imran Khan has introduced Omar Ayub as his party's nominee to take power as Pakistan's Prime Minister. 

Jailed cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has named a man in hiding as his pick for Pakistan's prime minister.

Omar Ayub Khan will run against the candidate of Imran Khan's rivals.

Ayub, one of the former prime minister's party leaders, is currently wanted by police on criminal charges. That does not bar him from running.

However, despite Khan's independents unexpectedly winning the most seats in last week's election, they do not have enough to form a government.
Currently, the two main rivals appear on course to take control, after they formed a coalition - Nawaz Sharif&#۳۹;s Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari&#۳۹;s Pakistan People&#۳۹;s Party (PPP).

A senior leader of Khan&#۳۹;s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party, Asad Qaiser, announced Ayub as his pick for PM after meeting with the former premier in prison.

Members of Pakistan&#۳۹;s National Assembly will elect the new prime minister and ۵۶-year-old Ayub will face off against the PML-N&#۳۹;s Shehbaz Sharif, Nawaz Sharif&#۳۹;s brother.
