Uzbekistan's parliament has approved Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev(59)as interim president.
The move is a clear sign he will become the long-term successor to strongman Islam Karimov, who died on Sep 02,2016
Under the constitution, Senate leader Nigmatilla Yuldashev should have taken the interim role but reportedly declined.
Parliament also confirmed a presidential election will be held within three months.
