Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari administered the oath of office to the ministers at the presidential office in the capital of Islamabad, with Sharif there. Sharif was elected as prime minister by the parliament on Sunday, a month after parliamentary elections and after his Pakistan Muslim League-N party formed a coalition with several allies.

Sharif held the same position from April 2022 to August 2023, when he replaced arch-rival Imran Khan, a former cricket star turned Islamist politician who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.
Sharif appointed lawmaker Ishaq Dar as foreign minister and reappointed Khawaja Mohammad Asif as defence minister. Mohsin Naqvi, who served as caretaker chief minister in the eastern Punjab province, was appointed interior minister while Attaullah Tarar was named information minister.
