Shehbaz Sharif Sworn in as Pakistan's Prime Minister for the Second Time

Shehbaz Sharif's return to power comes after a contentious election, with his government set to negotiate a crucial IMF loan.

Shehbaz Sharif officially took office as Pakistan's Prime Minister for the second time, following a disputed national election.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sharif on his reappointment, signaling a gesture of goodwill.
The election was marred by allegations of voter fraud and resulted in a split mandate, leading to the formation of a coalition government.
Sharif's government is tasked with negotiating an extended funding facility with the IMF as the current agreement expires in April.
The election's outcome has sparked concerns over political stability in Pakistan, amid rising economic challenges.
