    Our government will end on August 14 2023: Shehbaz Sharif

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Wednesday, while addressing a ceremony in Islamabad, that the government will end on August 14 and a caretaker government will take charge.

    Shehbaz Sharif became prime minister last year in April after a vote of no-confidence in the National Assembly against former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

     “I assure you that our government will end on August 14, and whenever elections happen, the ECP will announce it, and I hope that whichever government comes, it prioritises education,” Shehbaz said while addressing an event in Islamabad.

    Shehbaz Sharif had already mentioned his plans on Thursday while addressing the nation but he also said that the country will be the responsibility of the caretaker government after the end of his tenure in August 2023.
    Earlier, a parliamentary committee sped up work on election reforms by examining 73 rectification proposals presented before it.
