Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s win has been evident ever since the elections. And people were confident that Imran Khan would be the Prime Minister this time around. Imran Khan even gave his victory speech and made promises which he would fulfill during his tenure as Prime Minister.
But today, the National Assembly voted and confirmed his election and once it was officially announced, the internet just went BANANAS.

It’s pretty evident that people had been waiting for this day for a while. And now that it’s officially confirmed, the excitement levels are through the roof.
Some people had their attention elsewhere
Need to take a moment to digest the fact that very soon "Jab Aye Ga Imran" song will become obsolete.

The only parliamentary action I’m looking forward to is when Rana Sanaullah and Aamir Liaquat inevitably duel each other to the death on the floor of the house

– 22 years & the 22nd Prime Minister ..
All the best, Imran Khan.— Sheryer (@Sheryer9) August 17, 2018
A lot of people were overwhelmed because they felt like this was long overdue. Imran Khan becoming Prime Minister was a 22-year long dream which has now just been realized and of course, people were understandably emotional about it.
And a few made jokes at the expense of other hopefuls
