Lahore: The Punjab assembly is all set to elect its speaker today as fierce competition is expected between PTI candidate Sibtain Khan and PML-N nominee Saiful Malook Khokhar.
The Punjab Assembly session will be held at 4pm to elect the Speaker through a secret ballot.

The PML-N finalized the name of member of Punjab Assembly Saiful Malook Khokhar as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz candidate for speaker of the provincial assembly. Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif gave the final approval of Mr Khokhar.
He said all coalition parties members including the Pakistan People's Party would vote for PML-N’s candidate for the speaker. He directed the PDM to be more active during the election.
