February 14 (ozi news desk): Shehbaz Sharif, the younger sibling of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, is anticipated to assume the role of Pakistan’s new prime minister. This comes as the coalition of prominent political parties, led by them, is poised to surpass the simple majority threshold and establish the next government following a divided mandate in the elections.
In an unexpected decision, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) announced on Tuesday evening that Shehbaz would be their candidate for the position of prime minister, deviating from their usual choice of the party leader and three-time former premier, Nawaz Sharif.
