Hussain obtained 48 votes and Khurram Khosa 27.
Speaking to bar members Sindhu said that he was determined to carry on his struggle to restore pre-emergency judicial set up, adding that other provincial bars had already told the council to rethink its decision allowing lawyers to appear before the judges who had taken oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO). He also warned the lawyers that the council would take action against those lawyers who violated the decision.
