The oath-taking ceremony comes days after the Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party agreed on a power-sharing deal to form a coalition government.
Shehbaz, 72, earlier served as prime minister of a coalition government from April 2022 to August 2023, before Parliament was dissolved to hold general elections last month.
Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir, caretaker prime minister Anwarul Haq Kakar, and chief ministers and governors of all four provinces are expected to attend the oath-taking ceremony.
In the February 8 polls, marred by allegations of vote rigging, the Sharifs-led party failed to garner a clear majority, although technically it is the largest party, with 75 out of the 265 contested seats.
Shehbaz, known to be an astute politician and a good administrator, was tasked by his elder brother and former three-time prime minister to negotiate with other like-minded parties on the formation of a coalition government.
Besides the PPP, Shehbaz was backed by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM-P), Pakistan Muslim League (Q), Balochistan Awami Party, Pakistan Muslim League (Z), Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party and the National Party.
