Imran sees polls this year

E-Paper | May 03, 2026

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan said on Sunday that general elections would be held this year and that his party would win them.

“The PTI will form the government this year after winning the elections,” he remarked.

He was speaking at a ceremony marking the opening of a drive aimed at cleaning the Korang river, organised by Green Zone, an NGO. Around 100 schoolchildren took part in the drive.

Mr Khan lauded the efforts of the schoolchildren and said his party’s government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was also working hard in the environment sector.

He pointed out that the KP government planned to plant about one billion trees across the province.

He directed newly-elected PTI councillors to pay special attention to environmental issues.

After NA 246 disgraceful defeat IK has not stopped day dreaming. He is so fond of becoming the PM that the humiliations wont even stop him. He should be made the Chief of Pakistan Cricket Board so that he would be spending his time with Cricket.

@nasir Because he can't imagine how much simple the Pakistani people are who can be fooled repeatedly by the same old corrupt politicians every time there is an election.

Adolph Hitler was told by his naval staff Germany needed another six years to completely build up the military before any conquest of Europe would be possible. Do you know what Hitler's problem was? He was becoming an old man and could not wait six more years to achieve his dream.

On Sunday KPK was hit by mini-cyclone. Being a ruling party shouldn't he be there for the support of people? Yet his top agenda is fall of elected govt and dreaming of winning polls in this year ? Just like he won in NA246 and Cantt elections.

You need to dream to achieve something big. Atleast he is doing something more than 'just commenting on blogs'.

@Ahmed USA Children are the future of any country and they need to grow up seeing good deeds being rather than just see their corrupt elders. You reap what you sow, this is why children need to be involved from the outset. It is no good bringing your children with bad habits and corrupt practices. I hope this answers your question.

@Khan This is not a dream but a vision for Pakistan. It is better to dream and a vision rather than dream about how much money you can make from corruption.
