Islamabad, Aug 6 (IBNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday formally nominated Imran Khan as the party's Prime Ministerial candidate.

"Imran was nominated as PTI candidate for the post during the party's parliamentary committee meeting at a private hotel in Islamabad," Geo News reported.

PTI tweeted: "In today's Parlimentary group meeting, we have unanimously nominated Chairman Imran Khan for the candidature of Prime Minister of Pakistan. "

Imran Khan reportedly said in the meeting that the issue for which people voted the party to power needs to be fulfilled.

"My focus was not to become an MNA or a prime minister," Geo News quoted Imran Khan as saying in his address.

"The country is in an economic crisis and we need to steer it out of it," he said.

Imran Khan and hi PTI scripted a massive victory in the  general elections held recently.
