Pakistan gets new PM: Shehbaz Sharif to take charge after Imran Khan’s ouster

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif was today elected as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan. Shehbaz Sharif had submitted his nomination to be Pakistan`s next prime minister to the legislature on Sunday, his party said, after incumbent Imran Khan lost a no-confidence vote in parliament after nearly four years in power.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif was today elected as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan. Shehbaz Sharif had submitted his nomination to be Pakistan`s next prime minister to the legislature on Sunday, his party said, after incumbent Imran Khan lost a no-confidence vote in parliament after nearly four years in power.

The younger brother of three-times prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz, 70, has led a bid by the opposition in parliament to topple former cricket star Khan, and he is widely expected to replace him following a vote on Monday.

For Shehbaz Sharif, it will be a herculean task to put the country back on track to development, stability, and progress.

The added issue for Shehbaz Sharif is that he is not provided with the comfort of time to fix the problems as his ruling tenure is coming in power with an agenda of doing electoral reforms and immediately going into early elections, expected to be announced immediately after the newly elected Prime Minister presents the Budget in June 2022.

It will not be wrong to say that Shehbaz Sharif will be taking over the country`s management at a time when its economic, political and social turmoil may ruin the celebratory crown of throne on his head, as it will not be easily borne.

Another challenge for Shehbaz Sharif will be to meet the expectations of distribution of powers among the coalition members, who have competing interests with and against each other
