Lahore, In a historic election, Maryam Nawaz of the Pakistan Muslim League-N has been elected as the first woman Chief Minister of Punjab, securing two hundred twenty votes in a session held in the provincial assembly today. Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan announced the results, marking a significant milestone in the political landscape of Pakistan’s most populous province.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the election witnessed Maryam Nawaz’s triumph over the opposition, with the Sunni Ittehad Council having nominated Rana Aftab Ahmad Khan for the position but ultimately boycotting the electoral process.

In her address to the assembly following the election, the newly elected Chief Minister unveiled plans to implement various measures aimed at providing relief to the common man. Emphasizing her role as a leader for the entire province, regardless of party lines, Maryam Nawaz assured that her office would be accessible to members of the opposition as well. She expressed her gratitude towards the Almighty, party leadership, including Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, and allied parties for their support and confidence in her leadership.

Highlighting her vision for Punjab, Maryam Nawaz stated her desire to transform the province into a thriving business hub, distancing herself from any notions of political vendetta. Her election not only shatters a glass ceiling but also sets a new precedent for female leadership in the region’s political domain.
