Nawaz’s party picks Shahbaz Sharif to be Pakistan’s next prime minister
|
[Dhaka Tribune] Pakistain’s ruling Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) has finalised name of Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif
...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab...
to replace Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
as prime minister of the country.
According to Geo News, the decision was taken at a meeting of the ruling party after Supreme Court disqualified Nawaz Sharif as the prime minister.
Citing sources, the TV channel said the meeting left the final decision to choose the new candidate for the coveted post to Nawaz Sharif.
Shahbaz Sharif will be put to a vote in the National Assembly, a rubber stamp affair as the PML-N holds a strong majority in the house.
The young Sharif is currently chief minister of powerful Punjab province, the Sharif family stronghold. He would have to step down from that role and be elected to the National Assembly before he was eligible to become prime minister.
That will require a party loyalist to resign from his seat in the national parliament, sparking a hasty vote that Shahbaz would contest on the PML-N ticket.
Shahbaz is considered more intelligent but less charismatic than his older brother.
He has controlled Punjab, Pakistain’s most populous and prosperous province, for much of the last decade, presiding over a series of big ticket infrastructure projects, including Pakistain’s first metro bus service.
