Outgoing Speaker Agha Siraj Khan Durrani presided over the session, administering the oath to 163 elected MPAs out of 168.

However, the session commenced with a delay amidst tight security measures, with law enforcement detaining 10 workers, including women, from the Qaumi Awami Tehreek who protested outside against alleged election rigging.
