Prime minister of pakistan 2023

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has won a vote of confidence from the national assembly, in a major victory for the country’s governing coalition amid Sharif on Thursday was able to secure 180 votes, against the 172 required to achieve a simple majority in the lower house of the parliament, Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf announced. The vote came three days after the government vehemently denied reports that Sharif was planning to seek a vote of confidence. But in a surprise move after a luncheon thrown by the prime minister on Thursday afternoon, lawmakers gathered in the assembly hall in the capital, Islamabad, where Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, who is also the leader of his Pakistan People’s Party, moved a resolution for the vote. Sharif, who took office last year when he secured 174 votes to succeed Imran Khan who was removed in a vote of no confidence, thanked his party members and allies for supporting him. “This parliament elected me as the prime minister,” he said after Thursday’s vote. “If it reaches a decision after debate and obliges the government and cabinet, then it is mandatory for me to respect its decision.

"I have decided to take a break from politics, therefore, I have resigned from party position and parting ways from Imran Khan," Chaudhry said in a post on Twitter. The former information minister spent days in detention after Chaudhry condemned the protests by Khan's supporters, who attacked military installations, including army headquarters, and government buildings. Khan says the corruption allegations were fabricated and that his associates are being forced out under duress from the government and the military in a manoeuvre to dismantle his party before elections scheduled later this year. He has been embroiled in a tussle with the military since he was removed from power last year in a parliamentary vote which he says was orchestrated by the country's top generals. The military denies this. Khan is Pakistan's most popular leader according to local polls, while the military is its most powerful institution, having ruled directly or overseen governments throughout Pakistan's 75-year history. The face-off has ...
