Pakistan's new cabinet under newly-elected prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, was sworn in on Tuesday in a brief ceremony.

The oath of office was administered to the 34 ministers at the white marble palace known as the Presidency in capital Islamabad by Acting President Sadiq Sanjrani.

The cabinet portfolio is expected to be announced later on Tuesday.

Sharif, whose election on 11 April ousted former prime minister Imran Khan, also attended the ceremony. Since then, Imran Khan has demanded new elections at rallies, calling the new government part of a US conspiracy - a claim that Washington has denied.
