Shahbaz Sharif became the Prime Minister of Pakistan

Monday, March 4, 2024

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader Shehbaz Sharif has taken oath as the Prime Minister of Pakistan on Monday, March 4, 2024.

Shehbaz Sharif has taken over as the Prime Minister of Pakistan for the second time. Nawaz Sharif, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former President Asif Ali Zardari were present at the swearing-in ceremony.

Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir was also present at the oath taking ceremony.

Shehbaz Sharif's first term as Prime Minister of Pakistan was only for 16 months.

When he became PM for the first time by removing Imran Khan from the post of Prime Minister through a no-confidence motion, his elder brother Nawaz Sharif was not present in Pakistan.

Contrary to its expectations, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) could not secure a clear majority in the National Assembly in the recently held elections.

Independent candidates supported by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf emerged as the largest group with more than ninety seats.

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) stood second and had around 80 seats including some independent candidates.

After some initial confusion and hesitation, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and the Pakistan People's Party decided to form the government at the centre.
