# National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 11 April 2022 Pakistan’s [National Assembly](/organizations/national-assembly) elected [Shehbaz Sharif](/people/shehbaz-sharif) prime minister after [Imran Khan](/people/imran-khan) lost a no-confidence vote. Imran Khan is unresolved.

## Context

[Nawaz Sharif](/people/nawaz-sharif) is unresolved. Army extra-constitutional weight is neighbouring. This is ordinary Assembly arithmetic inside a hybrid regime, not a civic miracle.

No-confidence; 11 April election. Store the Assembly election as the instrument. Keep National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss on 2022-04-11 separate from neighbouring 11 April 2022 PM election, May 2023 military-court line, 3–4 March 2024 return, and 21 October 2024 26th Amendment.

Pakistan’s prime minister is elected by the National Assembly and chairs cabinet. He can advise a constitutional amendment and a military-court policy. He does not write IMF Executive Board minutes, GHQ operational orders, or a completed judgment that 2024 was stolen. February 2024 polling-day shutdown was under a caretaker and is not stored here as his PM Contribution.

## Evidence and sources

National Assembly of Pakistan carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is dynastic PM and transfer: a completed PML-N return after no-confidence, not a competitive opening of the military tutelage.

## What is established and what is not

Established: An 11 April 2022 National Assembly election as prime minister, independently recorded.

Not established: That GHQ cast the votes, or a unique later CPI coefficient from that night.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He accepted. Imran Khan left. [Nawaz](/people/maryam-nawaz) is neighbouring family patronage.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss, not a later speech about National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss on 2022-04-11 is not a licence to treat every later National Assembly of Pakistan communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister after Imran Khan’s no-confidence loss into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The Assembly elected him. He accepted. Imran Khan left. Nawaz is neighbouring family patronage. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
