| The National Assembly on Monday elected PPP Vice Chairman Yousaf Raza Gillani as the countryÂ’s new prime minister, with the highest number of votes in PakistanÂ’s parliamentary history. Gillani won with a resounding majority of 264 votes in the 342-seat Lower House, compared to his competitor, the PML-QÂ’s Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, securing only 42 votes. Three MNAs chose to abstain from the voting process: Maulana Asmatullah of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Ideological; and Faqir Jadem Mangrio and Ghulam Dastgir Rajar of the PML-Functional. |
