Benazir Bhutto served two non-consecutive terms as Prime Minister of Pakistan, from 1988 to 1990 and 1993 to 1996. However, both of her governments were plagued by problems and ultimately dismissed. She faced opposition from Nawaz Sharif and accusations of corruption. Her governments lacked majority support in most provinces beyond Sindh. Both of her administrations were dismissed before completing their terms, the first time due to corruption charges and the second for corruption and nepotism.
