On This Day in Politics: Hon'ble PM Shehbaz Sharif's Election as 23rd Prime Minister of Pakistan
Date: April 11, 2022
Date: April 11, 2025
Today marks a significant anniversary in Pakistan's recent political history. Three years ago, on April 11, 2022, the National Assembly of Pakistan elected Honorable Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Sahib as the country's 23rd Prime Minister.
This election was not a routine event but the culmination of a period of intense political drama and constitutional processes. It directly followed the removal of the preceding Prime Minister, Imran Khan, through a parliamentary vote of no-confidence. That vote, a landmark event itself as the first successful instance against a sitting Prime Minister in Pakistan's history, concluded in the early hours of April 10, 2022.
The subsequent session of the National Assembly on April 11, 2022, was convened specifically to elect the new leader of the house and, consequently, the new head of government. PM Shehbaz Sharif Sahib, leading a coalition of parties unified in their opposition to the previous government, secured the majority vote within the assembly.
The events surrounding April 10th and 11th, 2022, underscored the dynamic and often turbulent nature of Pakistan's parliamentary democracy. The transition highlighted the constitutional mechanisms available for changing leadership and the pivotal role of the National Assembly in the country's governance structure.
As we look back on this day, the election of PM Shehbaz Sharif Sahib serves as a reminder of a critical juncture in Pakistan's political timeline, marking a significant shift in power dynamics initiated by a constitutionally sanctioned no-confidence motion. It remains a key reference point for understanding the political developments within Pakistan during that period.
