Shehbaz Sharif expected to be next Pakistan PM, after High Voltage Drama

Pakistan has been embroiled in political turmoil after President Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly after a motion of no confidence in Imran Khan was rejected.

Opponents resumed the session and not only announced the deputy speaker’s order rejecting the no-confidence motion, but also declared Shehbaz Sharif as the new prime minister.

Shehbaz Sharif, the brother of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, also addressed the gathering as the new prime minister.

Pakistan People’s Party leader Sherry Rehman tweeted a video in which he said 197 members had elected PML-N MP Ayaz Sadiq as the new speaker.
