LAHORE: To empower people at the lowest tier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) will hold local government elections in 90 days after coming into power, PTI chairman Imran Khan announced on Wednesday.

Imran was addressing a press conference in Lahore.

Explaining his strategy for improving the rural life, Imran said he will ask overseas Pakistanis to own one village and sponsor development projects there.

To ensure satisfaction of the sponsors, the PTI chairman said that all the developmental work in the villages will be monitored through satellite cameras.

Explaining his optimism about fixing problems faced by Pakistan, Imran said he has lived abroad and has seen how systems work for the benefit of the people.

He further said that under PTI’s rule, the role of all MNAs and MPAs will be only to make laws and that the system will provide for the people.
