After the vote held on Monday, April 11, 2022, Pakistan’s parliament has elected Shehbaz Sharif as the country’s new prime minister following the weekend removal of Imran Khan in a vote of no confidence.

Sharif, who led the opposition effort to dismiss Khan, has promised his government would improve the economy and not seek revenge from political opponents.

The 70-year-old leader comes from a family of industrialists that has become a political dynasty.
