Who is Pakistan's new Prime Minister? Steel dynasty scion Shehbaz Sharif inherits an ailing economy amid political turmoil
CNN
Pakistan's new leader Shehbaz Sharif called for "unity" and vowed to repair the country's damaged economy after he was sworn in as Prime Minister Monday following the ouster of Imran Khan.
Former opposition leader Sharif, 70, is set to serve as Prime Minister until the next general election, expected in 2023.
He was elected by Pakistan's parliament after former cricket star Khan was dismissed as Prime Minister in a no-confidence vote that had threatened to set off a constitutional crisis. For weeks Sharif had been leading a campaign to remove Khan over allegations of poor governance and economic mismanagement.
