Shehbaz Sharif

Shehbaz Sharif was elected Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province. He served three non-consecutive terms, focusing on infrastructure projects, including the Lahore Metro Bus and Orange Line, and governance reforms. His tenure was marked by both development and allegations of authoritarianism.

Shehbaz Sharif was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau on charges of corruption related to the Ashiana-e-Iqbal housing scheme and other cases. He was imprisoned for several months before being granted bail. The cases were widely seen as politically motivated by the PTI government.

Shehbaz Sharif became Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly after the 2018 general elections. He led the opposition against Prime Minister Imran Khan's government, organizing the no-confidence motion that eventually succeeded in 2022.

Shehbaz Sharif was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan by the National Assembly after the ouster of Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion. He formed a coalition government with the Pakistan Democratic Movement, marking the first time a prime minister was removed by a no-confidence vote in Pakistan's history.
