"Our Pakistan is dying. Now, we want someone to come into power and give our country support and do something for Pakistan. This is a new change. Maybe out of this we will get something," said 52-year-old Musarat Jumani.
Khan, who first gained fame after leading his country to win the cricket World Cup in 1992, called his campaign a "good tsunami that will destroy injustice and corruption".
He promises to eliminate all major government corruption within 90 days of taking office.
In a country where the current Prime Minister Asif Ali Zardari has been marred by corruption allegations and is famously referred to as "Mr 10-per cent", Khan's anti-corruption stance has won him support.
He has vowed to turn Pakistan into a "Muslim welfare state", where citizens would get free and equal access to education and healthcare. In speaking about what this might look like, he cited examples of welfare systems in the United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries."
