A simple majority is required to elect the Prime Minister. Hopefuls include Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Imran Khan.
PTI, which now also had a majority in KP Assembly and Punjab Assembly, holds 151 seats to PML-N’s 81 seats. In addition to 151 seats, PTI’s alliances give it a command to over 175 seats.
PTI leader Asad Qaiser was elected as Speaker of the house with 176 votes.
