Khan obtained 185 votes against the 175 votes secured by PML-N's Saif ul Malook Khokhar
Lahore: Sibtain Khan of PTI -- who was a joint candidate of his party and the PML-Q -- was elected the new Punjab Assembly speaker on Friday.
The seat fell vacant after the former office bearer, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was elected as the Punjab chief minister.
Sibtain won the election after obtaining 185 votes against the 175 votes obtained by PML-N's Saif ul Malook Khokhar, who was the Opposition's joint candidate.
PTI MPA Waseem Khan Badozai presided over the session.
Ahead of the elections, the newly-appointed assembly secretary Inayatullah Lak approved the nomination papers of both the candidates after scrutiny.
Prior to the commencement of the voting process, PML-N’s Khalil Tahir Sindhu tried to raise a point of objection related to the position of the polling booth, saying that cameras were installed above it.
Following his objection, the location of the polling booth was changed.
