Maryam Nawaz Sharif (Urdu: مریم نواز شریف; born 28 October 1973) is a Pakistani politician, currently serving as the 20th Chief Minister of Punjab, in office since 26 February 2024. She is the daughter of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif and her initial involvement in public life was through her family’s philanthropic organisations. However, her political career began in earnest in 2012 when she took charge of the election campaign for the 2013 general elections. Following the elections, she was appointed as the Chairperson of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme in 2013. Despite her active role, she resigned from the position in 2014 after her appointment was legally challenged in the Lahore High Court.[3]
In the 2024 Pakistani general election, Maryam made her first appearance in the parliament by being elected to both the National Assembly of Pakistan and the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab. After being sworn in as a Member of the Provincial Assembly, she chose to give up her seat in the National Assembly.[4] On 26 February 2024, she assumed the role of Chief Minister of Punjab, marking the first instance of a woman serving as a Chief Minister in any province of Pakistan.
