Pakistan’s new cabinet maintains most of Sharif allies

‘The cabinet of Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has been sworn in in the capital, Islamabad.
President Mamnoon Hussain administered the oath of office to the new ministers at an official inauguration ceremony in Islamabad on Friday, Geo News reported.
Prime Minister Abbasi, who recently took over after former PM Nawaz Sharif was ousted over financial corruption, has largely maintained the ministers who worked under Sharif.
A close associate of Sharif, Ishaq Dar, has retained his previous post as finance minister despite having been disqualified along with Sharif by the Supreme Court last Friday.
It was not immediately clear how the news of Dar’s reinstatement would be confronted by the judicial authorities. Sharif himself resigned from the country’s highest government post shortly after the Supreme Court ruling that disqualified him.’
