This thread is being made too far in advance I fear, but the rise of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has turned heads throughout the country. UK related posters may be familiar with him playing a role in Pakistan winning the World Cup in Cricket in 1993.

He will be running on the Tehreek-e-Insaf party and is running on a middle class populist agenda. The other players are the current incumbents, the left-leaning Pakistan People's Party (the Bhutto's party) and the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz faction. In foreign policy sense, he is considered an "Anti-American".

In a recent YouGov@Cambridge (no idea as to it's reliability) 77% respondents considered him the best-suited politician to lead the country.THe old politicians seem to have been rejected by the Pakistanis. Just 11% backed former PM Nawaz Sharif and 13% present incumbent Yousaf Raza Gilani.

Doesn't he get bigged up before every election? Is there any particular reason why this one might be different?
