Shehbaz Sharif,72, takes oath as Pakistan’s Prime Minister for the second time in the face of daunting economic and security challenges. President Arif Alvi conducted the swearing-in ceremony for Shehbaz at the Aiwan-i-Sadr, the presidential residence. The oath-taking ceremony follows shortly after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party reached an agreement on a power-sharing deal to establish a coalition government.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, and other PML-N workers attended the ceremony. PPP leader and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah also graced the occasion.
On Sunday, Shehbaz secured a significant majority in the recently-elected Parliament amid opposition slogans.
