Shehbaz Sharif served as the PM of a coalition government from April 2022 to August 2023<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Islamabad: <\/b><\/p>\n

Pakistan’s newly-elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today called himself the “Leader of Opposition” by mistake in his victory speech in the country’s National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Shehbaz Sharif, the consensus candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for the PM post, got 201 votes in the 336-member House. His challenger Omar Ayub Khan, from jailed former PM Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, secured just 92.<\/p>\n

Even Shehbaz Sharif knows he should be Opposition leader right now#\u0645\u06cc\u0646\u0688\u06cc\u0679_\u067e\u0631_\u0688\u0627\u06a9\u06c1_\u0646\u0627\u0645\u0646\u0638\u0648\u0631<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/qhZATVrGyq<\/a><\/p>\n

In his victory speech, the 72-year-old PML-N president thanked his elder brother Nawaz Sharif and his allies for putting their trust in him.<\/p>\n

He then went on to mistakenly refer to himself as the “Leader of Opposition” in his speech as he expressed his gratitude to his party members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to express heartfelt thanks to my party members who voted and elected me the Leader of Opposition of this House,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Shehbaz Sharif will be administered the oath of office tomorrow at the Presidential mansion – Aiwan-e-Sadr.<\/p>\n

He earlier served as the PM of a coalition government from April 2022 to August 2023 before Parliament was dissolved for elections.<\/p>\n
