The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader was elected as the 21st Chief Minister of Punjab with 197 votes.

Following the resignation of Sardar Usman Buzdar, the session was summoned to pick a new Chief Minister.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) legislators tossed “lotas (round vessels)” at Deputy Speaker Dost Mohammad Mazari as he arrived to chair the session for the election of the Chief Minister, causing havoc in Pakistan’s Punjab Assembly.

The PTI legislators caused a commotion in the Assembly when they carried “lotas” to the chamber and began screaming “lota, lota (turncoats),” lashing out at dissident PTI members who left the party and opted to back the opposition.
