Tens of thousands of supporters have attended an election rally of Pakistan's cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan.
Reports said at least 100,000 people attended the rally in the eastern city of Lahore on March 23.
Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or Movement for Justice party, is expected to make a strong showing in the May 11 parliamentary elections, competing against the parties of President Asif Ali Zardari and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Khan is campaigning on a promise to fight corruption, challenging the dominance of traditional political parties.
Much of his support has come from young, middle class Pakistanis in the country's major cities.
The 60-year-old Khan was the captian of the national cricket team that won the 1992 World Cup -- the only time Pakistan has won the sport's highest prize.
