With 201 votes in parliament on Sunday, Shehbaz Sharif secured his second term as prime minister of Pakistan. His party, the PML-N, is set to lead a coalition government alongside Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the PML-N, endorsed his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif for the prime ministerial position, while party loyalist Sardar Ayaz Sadiq was nominated for the speaker of the national assembly role.
As part of the alliance agreement between PML-N and PPP, Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of Nawaz Sharif, assumed office as the chief minister of Punjab province on February 26, marking the country’s first woman chief minister of any province. Additionally, the agreement designated PPP’s senior leader, former Pakistan president b for the President’s post.
In the February 8 elections, Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N secured the second position, while independent candidates supported by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged with the highest number of seats but failed to achieve a parliamentary majority.
