Shehbaz Sharif elected as Pakistan’s new prime minister

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. Ahead of the vote on Monday, members of parliament from Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party resigned en masse, boycotting the election of Sharif, the younger brother of three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Al Jazeera's Osama Bin Javaid has more from Islamabad on the new prime minister.
