Battle for Punjab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The battle for the throne of Punjab has continued since former chief minister Uzman Buzdar\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Buzdar, PTI had nominated PML-Q Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, while PML-N and coalition partners in the central supported Hamza Shahbaz for the top slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, On April 16, Hamza Shahbaz had been elected as chief minister with a clean majority but the crisis further deepened in the province as the former governor refused to take the oath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, Hamza moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) and then on April 30, National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf administered the oath to Hamza on the directives of the LHC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
