PPP’s Amjad Hussain sworn in as GB chief minister

PPP’s Amjad Hussain on Monday was sworn in as the chief minister of Gilgit-Baltistan in a ceremony attended by his party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

Advocate Hussain was elected for the role on June 22 following the June 7 elections, in which the PPP emerged as the largest party, with 12 seats in the 24-member GB assembly.

The PPP had decided to form a government in GB with the support of the PML-N, mirroring the arrangement at the federal level.

The swearing-in ceremony at Chinar Bagh, initially set for July 1, had been postponed as Bilawal went to Iran to attend supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral.
