Islamabad: Polling for the election of the new Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly will be held today (Friday), while the Prime Minister will be elected on March 3.
According to the details, 302 out of 336 members of the National Assembly took oath in the tumultuous session of National Assembly yesterday.
In the very first session of the 16th National Assembly, members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) supported by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and members of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) raised harsh slogans against each other in front of Speaker Dice.
After coming to the House, PML-N leaders and former Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif shook hands with Pakistan Peopels Party (PPP) leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto.
