This is not the first time footage of the prime minister's dopplegasnger has gone viral as back in 2018 a video emerged on Twitter of one such lookalike.

Pakistani Twitter went into overdrive after a man driving a Suzuki Mehran went viral right after PM Imran was elected to his offiice.

With the video doing the rounds on social media, people, especially Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters, had started trending tags such as “#NayaPakistan”, “#SayNoToProtocol” and “#ImranKhanOurLeader” on Twitter.
