ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s coalition Government 34-member federal cabinet has taken oath in a ceremony at President House.

A 34-member strong cabinet has taken an oath to form the official decision-making body of the coalition government, which came into power after former prime minister Imran Khan was voted out on April 10.

While there are many old faces in the new cabinet, there are also 20 seasoned politicians who have made it to the federal cabinet for the first time.

The oath was administered by acting President Sadiq Sanjarani as President Arif Alvi has excused himself from administering the oath citing his ill health.

Three ministers of state and 31 federal minister took the oath. The cabinet comprises fourteen members from PMLN, nine from PPP, four from JUI-F, two from MQM-P, and one each from JWP and PML-Q.

BNP-Mengal’s Akhtar Mengal refused to take oath in protest against the Chagi incident.

PPP’s Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who was slated to become foreign minister, has not taken oath, though Hina Rabbani Khar has been sworn in a state minister.
