The eagerly anticipated oath-taking ceremony for the Punjab cabinet ministers is scheduled to take place today at the distinguished Governor’s House. With meticulous arrangements in place, the event is set to unfold at 4 pm, marking a significant moment in the political landscape of the province.
Governor Punjab, Balighur Rehman, will preside over the ceremony, administering the oath to the first batch of 25 ministers and special assistants joining the Punjab Cabinet. The approval of their names, a prerogative of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif, brings together a diverse group of individuals poised to play pivotal roles in the province’s governance.
The distinguished lineup includes prominent figures such as Marriyum Aurangzeb, Rana Sanaullah, Parvez Rasheed, Azma Bukhari, Khawaja Imran Nazir, Khawaja Salman Rafique, and Sohaib Bharat. Notably, Faisal Ayub Khokhar, Rana Ishaq Hayat, Sher Ali Gurchani, Mian Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman, and Bilal Yasin are also set to take the oath as Punjab cabinet ministers.
The inclusivity of the cabinet is evident with the representation of ministers from the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP). This diverse coalition reflects a collaborative approach to governance.
Sources indicate that Azma Zahid Bukhari is poised to assume the responsibilities of the Information Ministry, while Marriyum Aurangzeb is likely to be entrusted with the planning ministry portfolio. As the ceremony unfolds, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in Punjab’s political landscape, with expectations high for a dynamic and effective administration.
