Shehbaz Sharif is sworn in. But will the drama end?

Sharif is the brother of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He won with 174 votes after more than 100 lawmakers from Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or Pakistan Justice Party, resigned and walked out of the National Assembly in protest.

The political drama began April 3 when Khan sidestepped an initial no-confidence vote demanded by the opposition by dissolving parliament and calling early elections. This was struck down by the Supreme Court, which ordered a floor test.

The new ruling coalition consists of parties that cross the political divide, from the left to the radically religious. The two largest parties are the Pakistan Muslim League, headed by Sharif, and the Pakistan People's Party, co-chaired by the son and husband of Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister who was killed in 2007.

Sharif's elevation, though, may not guarantee a peaceful path forward or solve the country's many economic problems, including high inflation and a soaring energy crisis.If Khan's followers keep taking to the streets, it may create more pressure on his government
