Lawmakers in Pakistan have elected Shahbaz Sharif as the new prime minister, marking a significant development in the country's political landscape. Sharif will lead a coalition government comprising the Pakistan People's Party and the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Party.
The decision to elect Sharif comes following the general election held in Pakistan, which was marred by allegations of vote-rigging and delayed results. Despite former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party securing the most seats in parliament, no single party managed to secure a majority.
