Pakistan election: Shehbaz Sharif to be Prime Minister for the second time

Live Mint  

Shehbaz Sharif, senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader is set to become the next Prime Minister of Pakistan on Sunday, March 3. Shehbaz Sharif, 72, who is the consensus candidate of the PML-N and the Pakistan Peoples Party, is set to lead a coalition government following last month's elections that produced a split mandate. His closest contender Omar Ayub Khan of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf also filed his papers on Saturday ahead of Sunday's election that are expected to be a one-sided affair. Moreover, these elections witnessed victory of over 90 independent candidates backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's PTI that won majority seats in the 336-member National Assembly.
