ISLAMABAD: Punjab Governor Balighur Rehman on Saturday administered the oath to newly re-elected Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz.
Hamza Shehbaz clad in a black sherwani, was administered the oath at a ceremony held at the Governor House in Punjab. Hamza Shehbaz was re-elected on late Friday after Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s defeat in the contest for the CM’s slot.
Elahi lost the slot as provincial assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari decided not to count the votes of PML-Q lawmakers. Slogans of “Aik Zardari Sab Pe Bhaari” (one Zardari outweighs them all) were heard immediately after Hamza took the oath. It is the second time that Hamza beat Elahi in the contest for the Punjab CM.
