Khan had filed nomination papers for the slot in the presence of election officer Hamid Khan at a local hotel yesterday. However, no other party official filed nomination papers to challenge Khan.
Khan's unopposed election was preceded by intra-party elections that were held across Punjab and in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa in January and February.
The intra-party elections, PTI has maintained, are part of the party's strategy to beat dynastic politics.
Imran Khan has said that there will be a two-term limit on anyone being head of his Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), after the upcoming internal party polls to elect a chairperson.
“I will not be a lifetime head of this party because it is against democratic norms and values,” Khan said, addressing a gathering of newly-elected party office bearers at the PTI office here on Tuesday.
He said that unlike the PML-N and PPP, the PTI would not become a “family limited and branded political” party.
