Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly's newly elected 45 members have taken oath on Monday. Previous Speaker of AJK Legislative Assembly, Anwar-ul-Haq, presided over assembly's session last time and took oaths from 45 newly elected members. Two members were not present on the occasion while two seats remained vacant in 49-member AJK Legislative Assembly.
After completion of oath taking ceremony, newly elected members voted for new Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the assembly. Owing to victory of Raja Farooq Haider on two seats and cancellation of polling on one seat, two seats of AJK Legislative Assembly remained unoccupied, while two newly elected members did not take oath. Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leads the assembly with 29 seats, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is runner up with 11 seats. Last AJK Legislative Assembly's leader Muslim Conference is at third position with five seats and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is at fourth place with two seats.
