PM Modi congratulates Shehbaz Sharif on becoming Pakistan’s next Prime Minister

Shehbaz Sharif was nominated as the PM candidate after PML-N’s poor performance in the February 8 elections forced his elder brother Nawaz to withdraw his plans and form a coalition with other parties. He became the 24th Prime Minister of Pakistan after securing 201 votes in the National Assembly.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Shehbaz Sharif on becoming Pakistan’s new Prime Minister. Shehbaz, the candidate of a six-party coalition led his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), was administered oath as Pakistan’s 24th Prime Minister by President Arif Alvi on Monday.

Congratulations to @CMShehbaz on being sworn in as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
