Nawaz Sharif’s younger brother Shehbaz Sharif will be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. The decision was at a party meeting of PML-N members chaired by Nawaz Sharif.
For the next 45 days, an interim prime minister will be appointed before Shehbaz Sharif will take up the post.
Pakistani Prime MInister Nawaz Sharif stepped down from his post after the Supreme Court of Pakistan announced the verdict in Panama Papers investigation and disqualified him on Friday.
The apex court disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from public office over long-running corruption allegations, a decision that ousts him from the premiership for the third time in a chequered political career. The decision brings to an unceremonious end Sharif’s third term in power, roughly one year before scheduled general elections which would have seen him become the first Pakistani prime minister to complete a full five-year term.
