Prime Minister Imran Khan, Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, parliamentarians, military authorities and ambassadors of various countries will attend the oath-taking ceremony. According to the Presidency spokesperson, the guests will be served with tea and biscuits at the ceremony. Five years' tenure of Mamnoon Hussain as President has expired on Saturday.
