Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was named as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan recently.

Nawaz Sharif last month stepped down from the post after the Supreme Court disqualified him from holding public office.

He stepped down nearly an year before Pakistan would have participated in the scheduled general elections.
