'''Pakistan Muslim League (Zia-ul-Haq Shaheed)''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ض)}}}} is a [[political party]] in [[Pakistan]] formed in 2002. It is named after General [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq|Zia-ul-Haq]], Pakistan's president from 1978 to 1988. With the [[2002 Pakistani general election|general elections of 2002]], [[Ijaz-ul-Haq]] won the National Assembly seat, and merged with the [[Pervez Musharraf]]-endorsed [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/359435/parties-to-inform-ec-about-merger-with-pml|title=Parties to inform EC about merger with PML|newspaper=Dawn|date=May 20, 2004}}</ref> It gained the [[Ministry of Religious Affairs (Pakistan)|federal religious affairs ministry]] under Haq. After PML-Q was routed following the [[2008 Pakistani general election|general elections of 2008]], PML-Z separated from the larger party in February 2010.

In March 2010, PML-Zia successfully contested by-elections held in [[Bahawalnagar]] for [[Provincial Assembly of the Punjab|Member of the Punjab Provincial Assembly]], upsetting the [[Pakistan Peoples Party]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://paktribune.com/news/PML-N-wins-NA-123-PP-82-slots-225396.html|title=PML-N wins NA-123, PP-82 slots|newspaper=PakTribune|date=March 11, 2010}}</ref> During the [[Pakistan flood|floods of 2010]], the party also came to national attention for distributing relief goods worth millions of rupees in [[Southern Punjab]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.daily.pk/pml-z-to-distribute-relief-goods-21924/|title=PML-Z to distribute relief goods|newspaper=Pakistan Daily|date=September 11, 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322161406/http://www.daily.pk/pml-z-to-distribute-relief-goods-21924/|archivedate=March 22, 2012}}</ref>

On October 9, 2011, PML-Zia became the only party to support the [[PML-N]]'s threat to dissolve the Punjab Assembly and pre-empt the PPP's expected victory in the 2012 [[Senate of Pakistan|Senate]] elections.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/270274/dissolve-punjab-assembly-says-unification-bloc/|title=PML-N threatens to dissolve Punjab Assembly|newspaper=Express Tribune|date=October 9, 2011}}</ref> In the [[2013 Pakistan general election|general elections in 2013]], PML-Z contested two seats and won again from NA-191 Bahawalnagar in the National Assembly, and two seats in the Punjab Assembly. Haq's constituency NA-191 recorded the highest [[voter turnout]] in the country for 2013.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/552368/pakistan-elections-2013-total-voter-turnout-55/|newspaper=Express Tribune|title=Pakistan elections 2013 total voter turnout: 55%|date=May 21, 2013}}</ref>
