Islamabad, April 10: Shehbaz Sharif was nominated by the opposition as a joint candidate for the prime ministerial election slated for tomorrow at 2 p.m. local time, according to Pakistani news channel ARY News
The PML-N leader’s nomination comes a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan was dismissed from office after losing a no-confidence motion in Pakistan’s 342-member parliament.
“Special thanks to media, civil society, lawyers, my Quaid Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, Bilawal Bhutto, Khalid Maqbool, Khalid Magsi, Mosin Dawar, Ali Wazir, Amir Haider Hoti & leaders & workers of all political parties for standing up for the Constitution!”,” Sharif tweeted after he was nominated by the opposition.
Notably, Shehbaz Sharif is the younger brother of three-time Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was imprisoned on corruption accusations after being removed from power in 2017. He is currently receiving medical care in the United Kingdom after being released on bail.
