Second Parvez Elahi provincial government

The Second Parvez Elahi provincial government was the provincial government of Punjab, Pakistan headed by Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi as Chief Minister of Punjab, from July 2022 to January 2023.

Second Term as Chief Minister (2022–2023)

Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi served his second term as the Chief Minister of Punjab from July 2022 to January 2023. This tenure was characterized by significant political instability and a strategic alliance with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).[1]

Political developments

Following the Supreme Court of Pakistan's intervention in July 2022, Elahi was sworn in as the 19th Chief Minister of Punjab. His tenure was marked by the pursuit of early general elections and a confrontation with the federal government. On January 14, 2023, Elahi advised the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly to pave the way for provincial elections.[2]

Legislative actions

Despite intense political turmoil, the provincial assembly passed several bills, including adjustments to local government frameworks and various development authority amendments. His administration also focused on maintaining the continuity of projects initiated by the previous government of Hamza Shahbaz, while navigating challenges posed by the provincial opposition and the Governor's office.
