Quick Glance: Pakistan's parliament elects a new Prime Minister following Imran Khan's ouster
- After the resignation of Imran Khan, Pakistan's new Prime Minister is Shehbaz Sharif.
- According to analysts, unlike Nawaz, Shehbaz has friendly relations with Pakistan's military, which typically controls foreign and defense policy in the nuclear-armed nation of 220 million people.
- Nawaz Sharif, who served as Prime Minister three times, was disqualified from holding public office by the Supreme Court in 2017 and then traveled abroad for medical treatment after serving only a few months of a 10-year prison sentence for corruption charges.
- Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party had filed documents to nominate Qureshi as its prime ministerial candidate.
