A cricket legend Imran Khan may go head-to-head with the man designated as the country's next prime minister in a by-election in August, Pakistan Tehreek Insaf officials said.
A spokesman for Imran Khan's party, Akbar Babar, told AFP that Khan was thinking about contesting Aziz in the northern Punjab district of Attock on August 18.
"Imran Khan is consulting all opposition parties as there is a growing pressure on him from within his party to contest election from Attock," Babar said.
However, Senior Minister Shaukat Aziz, a former international banker, is also standing in a by-election on the same day from Tharparkar.
Two MNAs of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League this week resigned from their seats to pave way for the polls.
