&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{Lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|میر ظفراللہ خان جمالی}}}}; 1 January 1944 – 2 December 2020) was a [[Pakistan|Pakistani]] politician who served as the 15th [[prime minister of Pakistan]] from 2002 until his resignation in 2004.

Although he was a senior leader in the [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)|Pakistan Muslim League]] (PML) and Sharif&amp;#039;s confidant, relations between Jamali and Sharif cooled and Jamali joined the [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)]] after the [[1999 Pakistani coup d&amp;#039;état|1999 coup]] led by General [[Pervez Musharraf]]. In the [[2002 Pakistani general elections|2002 general election]], Jamali won his bid for the office of Prime Minister after his supporters and colleagues crossed party lines to support him.

===Resignation===&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2004, Jamali abruptly announced his resignation&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Pakistan&amp;#039;s Prime Minister Resigns |url=https://www.voanews.com/archive/pakistans-prime-minister-resigns-2004-06-26 |work=Voice of America}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Pakistan Premier Resigns, Replaced by General&amp;#039;s Ally |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/27/world/pakistan-premier-resigns-replaced-by-general-s-ally.html |work=The New York Times |date=27 June 2004}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; on television after a three-hour meeting with Musharraf.
