# National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister a second time Date: 2024 ## The fact On 3–4 March 2024 Pakistan’s [National Assembly](/organizations/national-assembly) elected [Shehbaz Sharif](/people/shehbaz-sharif) prime minister at the head of a PML-N–PPP coalition after the 8 February general election. PTI alleged a stolen majority; that allegation is not stored as a completed judgment. February polling-day mobile shutdown was under a caretaker and is neighbouring, not this PM Contribution. ## Context [Imran Khan](/people/imran-khan) was in jail and is unresolved. Establishment backing of the coalition is neighbouring hybrid weather. [Asif Ali Zardari](/people/asif-ali-zardari)’s later presidency is neighbouring and not minted here. 8 February poll; 3–4 March Assembly election. Store the PM election as the instrument. Keep National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister a second time on 2024-03-04 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 electoral integrity: a completed coalition return after a disputed poll, allegation not judgment. ## What is established and what is not Established: A March 2024 National Assembly election as prime minister, independently recorded. Not established: That 2024 was a completed stolen election as a court finding, or that he ordered the 8 February shutdown as PM. 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 a coalition. PTI’s allegation remains allegation.. 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 a second time, not a later speech about National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister a second time. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. National Assembly elects Shehbaz Sharif prime minister a second time on 2024-03-04 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 a second time into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The Assembly elected him. He accepted a coalition. PTI’s allegation remains allegation. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Shehbaz Sharif: https://factrail.ai/people/shehbaz-sharif ## Drivers - Shehbaz Sharif dynastic PM (Pakistan): https://factrail.ai/drivers/shehbaz-sharif-dynastic-pm - Electoral Integrity and Competitiveness: https://factrail.ai/drivers/electoral-integrity-and-competitiveness ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pakistan-parliament-elects-shehbaz-sharif-pm-second-time-2024-03-03/ - https://na.gov.pk/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/pk-shehbaz-pm-2024
