Why no Pakistan PM has been able to serve full-term — and this pattern may continue

Firstpost  

Reasons why no prime minister in Pakistan has been able to finish a full term varied from assassinations to military coups to most recently a no-trust vote that took place on 10 April 2022 On 16 October 1951, Liaquat Ali Khan, the first prime minister of Pakistan, was assassinated while addressing a gathering in Rawalpindi. With this, Khan became Pakistan’s first PM to lose a no-confidence motion, in a move that was seen as a rare democratic success in a country marred by political instability. On 2 April 2022, Army chief Qamar Bajwa slammed Moscow saying: “Sadly, the Russian invasion against Ukraine is very unfortunate as thousands of people have been killed, and half of Ukraine destroyed.” While Imran Khan’s “foreign conspiracy” claim may seem too far-fetched, that the US has never undermined the office of Pakistan PM is not entirely true. Imran Khan has been succeeded by former Punjab province chief minister and PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif who has been selected by lawmakers for a one-year term before the country likely heads to polls in 2023.
