Islamabad, Dec 25 (TIWN): Shehbaz Sharif, the current sitting Prime Minister of Pakistan is well known as “Shehbaz Speed” for his standout development work in the country’s largest province Punjab, during his multiple tenures as Chief Minister.

But the year 2022 became the year of forward movement in politics from provincial setup to a federal setup for Shehbaz Sharif, who, after being elected as Member of the National Assembly (MNA) during the 2018 general elections, became the leader of the opposition benches against the Imran Khan regime.

Shehbaz Sharif, who comes from the political family of the Sharifs, whose elder brother and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif led his political party, the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) to historical victories in elections and became the Prime Minister, remained as the second in command to Nawaz Sharif, which many believe was the power behind the Sharif politics.

After Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to jail on corruption references and removed from premiership and as PML-N’s head, it was Shehbaz Sharif who took over as the President of the party.

Shehbaz Sharif’s entry into the federal setup as opposition leader was the first step towards the pathway for the ruling premiership as after ousting Imran Khan through the no-confidence vote in the parliament, which was again headed by Shehbaz Sharif along with other coalition political parties; Shehbaz Sharif was made the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
