PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif was elected as the 23rd prime minister of Pakistan after 174 lawmakers voted in his favour after Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MNAs boycotted the election.
Acting Speaker Ayaz Sadiq reminisced that he had also chaired a session during which PML-N supremo and Shehbaz’s elder brother was elected as the premier. “Mian Mohammad Shehbaz Sharif has secured 174 votes… and elected as the prime minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”
