The premiership of Shehbaz Sharif began on 11 April, 2022 after he was nominated as a candidate for Prime Minister of Pakistan by opposition parties following a vote of no confidence in then-Prime Minister Imran Khan during the 2022 Pakistani constitutional crisis. He was sworn in as prime minister by Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani while acting as president on behalf of Arif Alvi. Sharif remained in office until 14 August 2023, when he stepped down for a caretaker government to participate in the 2024 general election. After a heavily contested election, Sharif was re-elected as prime minister on 4 March 2024, defeating the PTI-backed Omar Ayub Khan. The Shehbaz Sharif government has been described as an "Authoritarian Regime" by The Economist Democracy Index.
