Shehbaz Sharif became Pakistan’s 24th Prime Minister in March 2024, having previously served as the 23rd Prime Minister from 2022 to 2023 following a no-confidence motion against former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Brother of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, he has had a long and influential political career, including three terms as Chief Minister of Punjab (1997, 2007, 2013) and leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz). Sharif’s tenure has focused on governance, economic stabilization, and navigating Pakistan’s complex civil–military relations. His political journey has faced significant challenges, including arrest in 2020 on corruption and money-laundering charges, leading to months in detention before being granted bail in April 2021.
