New era dawns in Pakistani politics.
Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan was sworn in at a ceremony here on Saturday, ushering in a new political era as the former cricket captain and World Cup hero officially took the reins of power.
The ceremony at the President’s House marks the end of decades of rotating leadership between the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), punctuated by periods of army rule.
A tearful Mr. Khan smiled as he stumbled over some of the words of the oath administered to him by President Mamnoon Hussain.
Mr. Khan, 65, who captained Pakistan to World Cup victory in 1992, had won a confidence vote in the National Assembly on Friday.
