Shahid Khaqan Abbasi elected Prime Minister of Pakistan
Pakistan's parliament on Tuesday elected Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as the country's interim Prime Minister, after the Supreme Court last week disqualified Nawaz Sharif from the post over allegations that he lied on a wealth declaration. Abbasi will hold the post for 45 days while Sharifâs brother Shehbaz Sharif runs in a by-election to eventually succeed him.n
