After the 2024 general elections in Pakistan, Shahbaz Sharif's second government was formed. Shehbaz Sharif from the Pakistan Muslim League-N was elected as the Prime Minister.[1] President Asif Ali Zardari took the oath of office.[2] The new Cabinet composition has been described as a "Lean", with its composition being influenced by the need of the new government to respond quickly to the current economic crisis. The Cabinet includes PML-N, MQM(P), PML(Q), IPP and independents.[3]
The cabinet is riddled with controversy, as opposition parties have alleged severe rigging in the government's election, as well as that many members of the government have been accused of corruption.[4]
