Sharif's 18-member cabinet was one of the smallest in the country's history, especially compared to therecord 58-member cabinet of his ousted predecessorBenazir Bhutto. Sharif insisted on bringing nearly a dozen politicians with links toGen Zia-ul-Haq.[1]
Amongst the 18 members initially selected for the cabinet, nine were fromPunjab, two from theIslamabad Capital Territory, six fromSindh and one fromBalochistan. The cabinet was later expanded to include representation from theNorth-West Frontier Province[5] Although being a member of the IJI alliance, theJamaat-e-Islami (JI) members declined to participate in Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet.[6]
