A Pakistani television anchor previously accused of hate speech has joined cricketer - turned - opposition politician Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik - e - Insaf (PTI) party.
An eloquent speaker with a penchant for religious sermons and rather rash thoughts, Dr Hussain is well known - and no stranger to controversy.
As a journalist, a religious ideologue and a showman, Dr Hussain has had stints at nearly all the major media houses in Pakistan.
His TV shows are elaborately scripted, preach a certain brand of religion, and include quiz shows and product giveaways.
Dr Hussain has gifted cars, motorbikes and household electronics on his shows - and on one occasion, even abandoned babies. On one show during Ramadan, he brought two abandoned infants from a welfare organisation onto his live show, where they were adopted by two couples.
