Shehbaz amassed 174 votes, while Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Shah Mehmood Qureshi received no votes after his party’s decision to boycott the elections.
The election was held under the supervision of MNA Ayaz Sadiq, two days after the lower house of Parliament voted to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan from office, ending a nearly 14-hour impasse between the Opposition and Khan’s ruling party that began on Saturday morning.
