the Pakistan National Assembly (NA) convenes on Monday to elect a new Prime Ministter after PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi their nomination papers
Shehbaz, the 70-year-old younger brother of former three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif, has served as chief minister of the country's most populous and politically crucial Punjab province thrice
The expert believes that due to a dozen of multi-party coalitions and the country's economic problems, Shehbaz after a few months might hand over to a caretaker government and then go for elections
The move came hours after Khan was removed from office through a no-confidence vote held early Sunday morning, becoming 1st premier in country's history to be sent home after losing the trust of house
Shehbaz Sharif expressed gratitude to other Opposition leaders for their relentless struggle for upholding the rule of law and constitution which he added, had finally yielded fruits
Asad Qaiser said the House should also hold a discussion on the issue of "international conspiracy".
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is considered to be more hawkish towards India, while the PM in waiting, Shehbaz Sharif, may be more constructive towards a bilateral relationship.
It was followed by tabling of the no-confidence motion by Sharif, capping the first phase of the constitutional procedure
Leader of Opposition in Pakistan Parliament Shehbaz Sharif has reiterated that the powerful military establishment is not taking sides in the current political crisis in the country
The accountability watchdog alleged that the leader was involved in corruption by providing contracts on high rates to unqualified companies of his friends
The formal decision would be taken later this week in Lahore in meeting of the PML-N
Sharif's wife Kalsoom will be a strong candidate for the PM's slot in case PML-N wins 2018 election
After Shehbaz was announced Nawaz's successor, PML (N) leaders argued that Punjab can't be left out
