Newly elected members of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinets were sworn in Wednesday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The provincial cabinet comprising 15 ministers and five advisors was administered oath by Governor Haji Ghulam Ali.

During the oath-taking ceremony, held at the Governor House in Peshawar, the newly elected cabinet members chanted slogans in favour of PTI founder Imran Khan and also carried a frame featuring his photograph.

The ministers sworn in included Arshad Ayub Khan, Shakeel Ahmad, Fazal Hakim Khan, Muhammad Adnan Qadri, Aqibullah Khan, Muhammad Sajjad, Meena Khan, Fazal Shakoor, Nazir Ahmad Abbasi, Pakhtoon Yar Khan, Aftab Alam Khan Afridi, Khaleequr Rehman, Syed Qasim Ali Shah, Faisal Khan Tarakai and Muhammad Zahir Shah.

Syed Fakhar Jehan, Muzamil Aslam, Muhammad Ali Saif, Mashal Azam and Zahid Chanzeb were appointed as advisers to the chief minister.

Earlier in the day, KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur sent a summary regarding the appointment of the provincial cabinet to the governor, which was subsequently notified.

The development came a day after CM Gandapur met incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi and discussed the formation of the provincial cabinet with him.

Speaking to the media after he met with Imran, Gandapur had said the PTI would never reconcile with the Shehbaz Sharif-led PML-N government which he claimed was formed by “stealing seats”.

However, he added, a working relationship with the federal government would be maintained.
