The government was mandated to complete the term of the PML (N) government, which had its prime minister Nawaz Sharif, dismissed. The Nawaz-Abbasi government was similar to the [[Gillani government|Gillani]]-[[Ashraf government|Ashraf]] or [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali|Jamali]]-[[Shujaat Hussain|Shujaat]]-[[Shaukat Aziz|Aziz]] governments which all retained the same national assemblies and ruling parties, with the only change in the prime minister. |
