Former Pakistani cricket star Imran Khan during his speech said that the United States should withdraw from Afghanistan.

 Former cricket star Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) also took a tougher stance against the United States and reportedly called for a new, “mutually beneficial” relationship with America that takes a turn away from the 2001 partnership brokered between both nations to work against terrorism.

“Unfortunately up to now, our relationship has been one-way. America pays Pakistan for fighting its' war, which has really damaged Pakistan,” Khan said.

Khan also said, “I will prove that we can fix our governance system. All our policies will be aimed to help the weakest members of our society.”

Pakistan’s economy is in dire straits. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Many experts believe brakes will have to be put on the economy to stop sucking in so many imports, which could undermine his pledge to create 10 million jobs.”

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s opposition parties have rejected the general election results, calling for what they described as a transparent, and free and fair re-election.

The multi-party conference (MPC) – an alliance of five religious political parties – and the PPP late on Friday rejected the 2018 general elections results at the end of a party conference and demanded re-election, saying that the polls were "rigged massively" and the results were manipulated.

"The All Parties Conference (APC) has unanimously and totally rejected the election held on July 25. We do not consider this election to be the mandate of the public, but a robbery of the people's mandate," said Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chairman of the APC conference.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has secured the most number of seats in National Assembly of Pakistan, thus ready to form next government in the country.

Khan’s victory was reportedly denounced by many of his political rivals as being rigged and for receiving help from Pakistan’s powerful military.

Khan won the election despite having fallen short of an outright majority.
