The elections will be conducted through secret balloting, with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz candidate Malik Ahmed and Sunni Ittehad Council’s Ahmed Khan vying for the speaker slot, while Zaheer Iqbal and Moin Riaz will compete for the deputy speaker position.

On Friday, 313 members of the provincial assembly took their oath administered by Speaker Sibtain Khan.

However, the maiden session of the new assembly commenced more than two hours later than planned due to the delayed arrival of the speaker.
