Aziz left office on November 16, 2007, at the end of his term and became the first Prime Minister of Pakistan to complete a full term in office. In early 2007, according to an independent survey by IRI, another surprising finding was that 22 per cent of the respondents thought Shaukat Aziz would be the best prime minister. On that count, Benazir scored a respectable 19 per cent and Nawaz Sharif only 11 per cent. Shaukat Aziz is currently operating his financial consultancy firm in UAE.
