Commenting on the election of the new prime minister, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif told journalists that it would result in "nothing substantial". He said during the PPP's four-year tenure, Punjab suffered an unjustifiable energy crisis. The Chief Minister said that his party had co-operated with the federal government, but this goodwill gesture only resulted in Punjab being "targeted in the electricity crisis".
Punjab's Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the federal government would soon have to surrender to their demand of holding early elections. He said that they had also given a 10-point agenda to the former Prime Minister on which he chose the path of confrontation. In the assembly, PML-Q members boycotted the session and only a few PPP members attended the Saturday's session.
