Even Imran Khan could not fulfill his constitutional term as Prime Minister

Let's take a look at the five prime ministers of Pakistan who have been in office for a long time.

To date, no no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister of Pakistan has been successful, but this time the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan has gone to the Supreme Court because on the day of voting on the motion, the Speaker rejected it. Imran Khan ended his own government by dissolving the assemblies.

If the caretaker Prime Minister is not counted then a total of 22 Prime Ministers have passed in Pakistan so far but not a single one of them has fulfilled his constitutional term ie five years and for some reason he had to resign either. Or redeemed from them.

Let's take a look at the five prime ministers of Pakistan who have been in office for a long time.

Liaquat Ali Khan

Interestingly, the record for the longest tenure in the PM's chair is held by the country's first prime minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, who is still alive today.

Liaquat Ali Khan was one of the founding leaders of Pakistan. He remained in power for 1523 days from 15th August 1947 to 16th October 1951. His rule ended with his assassination. The place where he was killed is still known as Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi. Another Pakistani prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated at the end of a rally outside Liaquat Bagh.

Nawaz Sharif

In 2013, for the first time in the history of the country, power was transferred from one elected government to another and Nawaz Sharif, a two-time Prime Minister, became the Prime Minister of Pakistan for the third time.

The longest serving Prime Minister after Liaquat Ali Khan was Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif who ruled as Prime Minister from June 5, 2013 to July 28, 2017 for 1514 days and then had to step down on a court order. The party government completed its constitutional term and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi remained prime minister for the remainder of the term.

Yousuf Raza Gilani

By the way, Yousuf Raza Gilani has been the Prime Minister for most of the day, but since the court order against him had come in the past, that is, in the backdate, his days as the official Prime Minister become less.

Where did Imran Khan go wrong?

What was good or bad in the four-year rule of Prime Minister Imran Khan?

Yousuf Raza Gilani was the Prime Minister for a total of 1492 days and his tenure was from March 25, 2008 to April 24, 2012. Yousuf Raza Gilani had committed contempt of court for which he was sentenced to a few seconds imprisonment and he lost power on the same court order.

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto became President in 1973 after the resignation of General Yahya Khan.

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto is the only leader of Pakistan who has served as President, Prime Minister and Chief Martial Law Administrator.

After becoming prime minister in 1973, he himself called early elections, in which General Zia-ul-Haq dismissed him and imposed martial law after allegations of fraud.

He was the Prime Minister from August 14, 1973 to July 5, 1977. Thus, his term of office becomes 1421 days.

Imran Khan

He was sworn in as prime minister in 2018, but his government has been plagued by opposition protests, demonstrations and sit-ins from the beginning. However, the epidemic of Karuna was completed, during which the movement in the country was suspended and life was jammed apart from the most important issues.

A no-confidence motion was finally tabled in the National Assembly against Imran Khan, after which several disgruntled PTI members of the National Assembly joined hands with the united opposition and the deficit was met by the allies who ruled for three and a half years. I was a participant.

The no-confidence motion was dropped on Sunday (April 3) when the deputy speaker adjourned the assembly, apparently rejecting the opposition's resolution for the vote.

Imran Khan requested the President to dissolve the National Assembly which was immediately accepted. Similarly, Imran has not been the Prime Minister. However, the president has asked him to continue as prime minister until the caretaker administration is elected.

Imran Khan was sworn in on August 18, 2018 and he left power after 1324 days in power.
