ALJAZEERA: Parliament chooses the opposition leader to replace Imran Khan after weeks of political turmoil.
Pakistan’s parliament has elected Shehbaz Sharif as the country’s new prime minister.
The election came after PM Imran Khan was removed from office after losing a no-confidence vote.
Ahead of Monday’s vote, lawmakers from Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party resigned en masse, boycotting the election of Sharif.
