The President of PML-N, Shehbaz Sharif, clinched the 24th Prime Minister position after receiving overwhelming support. Omer Ayub Khan, the PTI candidate backed by Imran Khan, secured 92 votes. Following the announcement, Shehbaz shared a hug with his elder brother Nawaz Sharif, a three-time former PM of Pakistan.
