“Within 48 hours of the unceremonious removal of Imran Khan from the post of Pakistan PM, the national assembly of Pakistan today elected Shahbaz Sharif as the country’s new Prime Minister through voting. According to the Dawn newspaper, Ahead of the voting, Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) boycotted the procedure. PTI PM candidate Shah Mahmood Qureshi announced the boycott of voting to elect new Pakistan premier. The PTI lawmakers resigned from the Parliament and staged a walkout. The joint Opposition – a rainbow of socialist, liberal and radically religious parties – named 70-year-old Sharif for the premier’s post. Ahead of the election of the new Prime Minister, Imran Khan resigned as a member of the National Assembly, saying he will not sit in the assemblies with “”thieves””. In his maiden speech as the Prime Minister in the National Assembly, Mr Sharif said if Imran Khan’s claims of foreign conspiracy proves correct, he “”will go home””. “”Pakistan will celebrate this day,”” he added.
Pakistan got its new Prime Minister after month-long political turmoil. Saturday came as a D-Day for Imran Khan. Amid high political drama inside the assembly, Imran khan was ousted in a no-confidence motion. However, the script for Imran Khan’s ouster was written back in November itself But Imran Khan ignored all the signs of it and believed that he will not face any threat.
So how did Imran was ousted and Shehbaz was placed in? Arti Ghargi exlains in the video.
