Taking the oath in an atmosphere of protests
The swearing-in ceremony took place amid protests by PTI and other opposition parties, including PML-N's former ally JUI-F, who alleged that the election results were rigged in favor of the PML-N and other ruling parties.
Since the beginning of the National Assembly session last week, PTI-backed MPs who joined the Sunni Ittehand Council (SIC) have been protesting and disrupting the proceedings of the house. They claimed the lower house of parliament was "incomplete" without seats reserved for the SIC and all activities were "illegal".
In the backdrop of these protests, PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur, who was elected as the CM of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, did not attend the swearing-in ceremony and instead attended the provincial assembly session.
The Gandapur CM told reporters at the KP Assembly premises that he did not think it appropriate to attend the Prime Minister's swearing-in ceremony. "It is still not clear whether the prime minister was elected by the people or by election officials," he said, referring to alleged irregularities in Forms 45 and 47.
