Sharif to be sworn in as premier tomorrow with small cabinet

June 04, 2013 16:38

Nawaz Sharif will be sworn in for a record third term as Pakistan's Prime Minister tomorrow after he is formally elected to the post and a very small cabinet comprising close aides is expected to take oath along with him. Sharif's election in the National Assembly or lower house of Parliament is a foregone conclusion as his PML-N party has over 180 members in the 342-member strong House. The election of the Prime Minister will be done by a division of the House.
