Gul Zafar Khan, who won from NA-41 (Bajaur) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, owns assets worth over Rs 30 million, according to documents submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan.
A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Member of National Assembly-elect, who was widely reported to be a 'chaiwala' (tea seller) during the election campaign, has turned out to be a millionaire, according to a media report.
Gul Zafar Khan, who won from NA-41 (Bajaur) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, owns assets worth over Rs 30 million, according to documents submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), Geo TV reported.
The documents said that the MNA-elect owns a garment business. Zafar owns immovable properties worth Rs 10 million as well as two houses and agricultural land worth Rs 12 million, documents showed. The documents showed that Zafar's assets increased by Rs 184,000 over a year.
He used to make tea at a hotel in Rawalpindi before he was given ticket by Imran Khan's party. The pictures of Zafar serving tea to people of his area were snapped ahead of the July 25 polls. However, a viral video of him serving tea was recorded after the polls.
"This is my job and I have been appointed as the MNA from here," he was quoted as saying by the channel. He said his main focus would be to impart education to all and improve basic institutions.
President Mamnoon Hussain has summoned a session of the National Assembly on August 13 during which the newly-elected members will take oath.
The PTI which secured 116 out of 272 general seats in the National Assembly in the July 25 general elections is the largest party in the parliament. The party has claimed to have crossed the magical figure of 172 required to secure a simple majority in the 342-seat National Assembly.
Earlier this week, PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said, "Imran Khan will be elected prime minister of the country 'within the first round' of vote in the parliament."
Khan will be sworn-in as Pakistan's new Prime Minister on August 18.
