Imran Khan loses big battle with matured voters

Nawaz Sheriff The shocking defeat of Imran Khan in the historic Pak election shows he is yet to win the hearts of common man in Pakistan. The message is clear, Imran has to prove his credentials as a politician to make a tryst with the destiny of Pakistan. The election result vehemently says all the hype over the former cricketer becoming a savior of a country battling extremism and military might has found an attraction only with the urban population, that too among the youth. The election result prediction by TV channels and newspapers became farce with Nawaz Sheriff, the former prime minister, returning to power with a majority, dismissing all speculations about Imran entering to an alliance with Asif Ali Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party to form a secular government with a modern approach. At a time when the world considers Pakistan as a haven for terrorists, the new generation, catalysts of change, earnestly wished to see Imran at the helm of the corridors of power.
