Imran Khan out, who is next in Pakistan?

Pakistan National Assembly proceedings were adjourned in the early hours of Sunday and the House will meet again on April 11 at 2 pm to elect the new premier.

The removal of Imran Khan has set in motion the process to elect the new leader of the house.

The combined opposition has already named Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif as joint candidate.

70-year-old Shehbaz is the younger brother of Nawaz Sharif, who served as the PM three times.
Shehbaz Sharif comes from the wealthy Sharif dynasty and is known for his 'can-do' administrative style exhibited during his stint as the Chief Minister of Punjab Province. He has served on the post for three terms.

Unlike his brother, Sharif is known to enjoy an amicable relationship with the military. He is also more inclined towards India than Imran Khan during his tenure.

Sharif was first elected as the CM of Punjab in 1997. Following the coup in 1999, he lived in exile for almost a decade in Saudi Arabia.

Shehbaz Sharif returned in 2007 and joined politics again. His entry into national politics was when he was elected the chief on PML-N after brother Nawaz was found in the Panama Papers case.

While, he has faced many corruption charges, he has never been found guilty.
