The deputy prime minister of Pakistan, officially the deputy prime minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Urdu: نائب وزيراعظم پاكستان romanized: Nāib Wazīr ē Aʿẓam Pākistān lit.'Vice Grand Vizier of Pakistan') is the second most senior minister of the Government of Pakistan.[1][2] The main purpose of the post was to give a backup to the government in the absence of the Prime Minister.[2] As a result of an agreement between the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the PML-Q to share ministries in the federal cabinet,[3] Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was made the first deputy prime minister of Pakistan.[1][4][5][6] From 2013-2024 the office remained vacant until Shehbaz Sharif appointed Ishaq Dar to Deputy Prime Minister as an additional charge to Dar's portfolio of Foreign Minister.[7][8]{{
