Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, clinched the title of Punjab’s first female Chief Minister.
The opposition Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) boycotted the voting process during the assembly session presided over by newly-elected Speaker Malik Ahmad Khan.
Despite brief disruptions, Maryam secured 220 votes, with her opponent, SIC-backed Aftab Ahmad Khan, obtaining zero votes.
The session experienced a brief disruption when Sunni Ittehad Council members attempted to speak on a point of order but were halted by the speaker, who emphasized that the sole agenda for the day was the election of the CM. Consequently, the STI staged a walkout and boycotted the proceedings and the voting process.
