Etienne Tshisekedi vs Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

Tshisekedi co-founded the UDPS, the main opposition party in DR Congo under Mobutu's dictatorship. The party advocated for democratic reforms and multi-party elections, facing severe repression from the regime.

Tshisekedi was appointed prime minister three times during the transition period (1991, 1992, 1997) but was each time dismissed or sidelined by Mobutu. His brief tenures were marked by political paralysis and conflict with the presidency.

After Laurent Kabila overthrew Mobutu, Tshisekedi refused to recognize the new government, calling for a national dialogue. He was placed under house arrest and later exiled, continuing his role as a persistent opposition figure.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was appointed as the 21st Prime Minister of Pakistan on August 1, 2017, after Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by the Supreme Court. He was a PML-N loyalist and completed the remainder of Sharif's term.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi served as Prime Minister until May 31, 2018, completing the five-year term of the PML-N government. His tenure focused on infrastructure projects and economic stability, but was overshadowed by the Panama Papers case.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was arrested on July 18, 2019, by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with alleged corruption in the LNG import contract. He was accused of causing losses to the national exchequer through illegal approvals.
