The First Parvez Elahi provincial government was the cabinet of the Government of Punjab, Pakistan formed by Chaudhary Parvez Elahi following the 2002 Punjab provincial election, in which Elahi and his Pakistan Muslim League (Q) party secured a victory and formed a government which ruled until 2007. His cabinet included many new ministers who were members of his party.[1]
His cabinet took several weeks in its formative period, as though the cabinet was elected on 10 October 2002, its ministers took their official oath of office on 3 January 2003.[2] The reason for its late formation, was that the cabinet faced issues in its formation, and just like in the national general elections, the PML-Q was forced to form a coalition government with the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (79 seats in Punjab) and the National Alliance (15 seats in Punjab).[1][3]
His cabinet presided over many new projects and initiatives in many sectors which were part of Parvez Elahi's Chief ministership. The cabinet, which ruled from early 2003 until late 2007 was Elahi's first, as his second cabinet ruled from 2022 to 2023. The cabinet automatically dissolved as Parvez Elahi's chief ministership ended on 18 November 2007.[4]
