Shehbaz Sharif Biography

Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif (pronounced [miˈɑ̃ː mʊˈɦəm.məd̪ ʃɛhˈbɑːz ʃəˈriːf], born 23 September 1951) is a Pakistani politician. He is the 23rd and current Prime Minister of Pakistan since 2024, and previously from 2022 to 2023. He is also the President of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N). He is the brother of Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan. He is the chief minister of Pakistan’s most populous province Punjab since 2008. Previously, he held this position from 1997 to 1999, when Pervez Musharraf took control of Pakistan in a military coup. He, along with his entire family, was forced into exile until his return to Pakistan in late 2007.

Sharif became the Prime Minister of Pakistan on 29 July 2017, succeeding Nawaz Sharif post his resignation following the Panama Papers case. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was expected to serve as Prime Minister until the 2018 general election, but Nasirul Mulk was chosen instead. Imran Khan controversially won the 2018 election. Shahbaz was elected as the Prime Minister the day after Imran Khan was ousted on 10 April 2022 due to a motion of no confidence. To extend the time before elections, the parliament was dissolved on 9 August 2023, despite its scheduled expiration on 12 August 2023, with the approval of the President of Pakistan. Sharif was re-elected as Prime Minister for a second term on 3 March 2024, securing 201 votes against PTI-backed Omar Ayub Khan’s 92 votes.
