Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has been formally nominated as the Prime Ministerial candidate by the Opposition to replace Imran Khan after the latter lost a no-confidence vote.
Sharif is the younger brother of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who was dismissed then jailed on corruption charges in 2017 and is currently in Britain after being released from prison two years later for medical treatment.
Born in the year 1951, Shehbaz Sharif is the younger brother of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who governed for nearly three terms.
Shehbaz Sharif has served three times as the Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab province. He launched a bid for the Prime Minister’s chair in August 2018, but a last-minute decision by the Bilawal Bhutto-led PPP to withdraw from the PM vote cleared the path for Imran Khan to be elected as the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan, will be elected on April 11 after 2 PM.
Notably, no PM has completed a full five-year tenure in Pakistan so far.
