No govt can be formed without Imran Khan: Khosa

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Latif Khosa has said that no government can be formed without his imprisoned leader Imran Khan.

Khosa made these remarks while speaking to reports in Islamabad. He said that the election results were correct up till the issuance of the Form 45.

He claimed that according to Form 45, 170 PTI-backed candidates were winnings. “They are not independent because PTI exists as a legal and constitutional party. Calling us independent is wrong and illegal.”

The PTI lawmaker said if reserved seats were added to this number then PTI would cross the 200 mark in the National Assembly.

“The largest political party which emerges in the election is given the right to form the government,” said Khosa.

He terms power-sharing formula between the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) “a joke with democracy”.

“Who are they — who have been rejected by the people — to divide among themselves […] No Assembly or Parliament can function without Imran Khan. No democracy can function and no government can be formed with Imran Khan. So rid yourself of the misunderstanding that by minusing Imran they will be able to operate a democracy or the government. You will have to bring Imran Khan back.”

He claimed that Imran Khan will be the prime minister and “no one can stop him”.
