Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan will be facing off with a female centenarian for the NA-35 seat.

Hazrat Bibi, 100, has decided to independently challenge the PTI chief in the constituency that covers the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

"I will pay extra attention to education for girls if I end up succeeding," vows 100-year-old Hazrat Bibi

The forthcoming election is not Bibi's first attempt at entering the corridors of power — she has contested elections five times in the past as well.

While the elderly woman has been unable to win any electoral contests so far, who knows what might happen this time around?
