In a series of Tweets Jemima Goldsmith, former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran wished him in the obvious victory in the general election.
She recalled Imran’s political career how despite all the hurdles he faced all the difficulties, never gave up and after 22 years he achieved his goal.
“I remember the Ik’s first election in 1997- untested, idealistic & politically naive. I waited for the call from Lahore and it was a clean sweep”, she wrote on Twitter.
I remember IK’s 1st election in 1997- untested, idealistic & politically naive. I waited up for the call in LHR with 3 mo old Sulaiman, who I had lugged around the country. Eventually he called. “It’s a clean sweep” & after my gasp, “… the other way.” He roared with laughter

Jemima further wrote, “‘after the 22 years of humiliation, struggle, hardships and sacrifices today, my sons’ father is the next PM of Pakistan. Imran’s struggle is an incredible lesson in tenacity, belief & refusal to accept defeat.”
22 years later, after humiliations, hurdles and sacrifices, my sons’ father is Pakistan’s next PM. It’s an incredible lesson in tenacity, belief & refusal to accept defeat. The challenge now is to remember why he entered politics in the 1st place. Congratulations @ImranKhanPTI

Happy Election Day Pakistan, you maddening, beautiful, crazy, beloved old friend.
Here’s hoping the people who count your votes, let your vote count. And you get the leader you believe in.

Mr Khan’s nine-year marriage to British socialite Jemima Goldsmith ended in 2004. She had converted to Islam before marrying the 65-year-old former fast bowler. He was 42 and she was half his age. She moved to Lahore to start a life with her Oxford-educated husband. Soon he launched his political career as his new wife tried to adjust to her new surroundings.
she congratulated Imran on his victory and said now the most important and hard part for him is to remember ‘why he entered politics in the first place’.
