Punjab Assembly to elect new CM today

Punjab will once again be the center of attention as all eyes are focused on the crucial session of the Punjab Assembly to hold the process of electing the new chief minister between incumbent CM Hamza Shahbaz and Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervez Elahi.

It is anticipated that the contest will influence the political landscape of the country. The session will begin at 4 pm. The PTI’s resounding victory in the Punjab by-elections last week altered everything in the Punjab Assembly. The two major parties in Punjab, the PTI and PML-N, will compete in an exciting race for the position of chief minister with their respective candidates being Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, the speaker of the Punjab Assembly, and Hamza Shahbaz, the prime minister’s son.

The session will be presided over by Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari, who has requested strict security arrangements for today’s political activity because the Speaker is a candidate for the election.

Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari has written a letter to the provincial chief secretary to seek special security measures during the CM elections.
