New Delhi: Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) backed leader Pervez Elahi has been appointed as the new Chief Minister of Punjab province. Pakistan President Arif Alvi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Pervez Elahi in Aywan-e-Sadr on Wednesday.

Parvez Elahi was sworn in as the new Chief Minister following the Supreme Court’s verdict against the verdict of Dost Mohammad Mazari, deputy speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly.

A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court comprising Pakistan Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Muneeb Akhtar had ordered Punjab Governor Bali ur Rehman to administer the oath to Elahi, but the governor refused to do so. Due to this, President Arif Alvi administered the oath to Elahi.
