LAHORE: Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervaiz Elahi has summoned a session of the provincial assembly on July 22 in light of the Supreme Court’s (SC) ruling on re-election for the Punjab chief minister’s slot.
The Supreme Court on last Friday ruled that re-election for the Punjab chief minister’s slot will be held on July 22 after the rival parties — PML-N, PML-Q and PTI — reached consensus on the matter.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan comprising Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan and Justice Jamal Mandokhel issued the order on PTI’s plea.
