The five-year term of the incumbent National Assembly of Pakistan had commenced under the then-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government led by Imran Khan on August 12, 2018.

In 1997, when Nawaz Sharif became Prime Minister for the second time, Shehbaz Sharif was appointed Chief Minister of Punjab. His tenure was marked by infrastructure development and economic growth. However, his government was also accused of corruption and mismanagement.
