Islamabad, April 19

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s 34-member Cabinet — a mix of experience and fresh blood — was sworn in on Tuesday after several days of delay, with Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani administering the oath to new ministers after President Arif Alvi once again excused himself from the ceremony.

Has 34 members
The Cabinet includes 31 ministers and three ministers of state
PML-N got 13 ministries and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s PPP got nine
The most keenly awaited debutant, Bilawal, chairman of PPP, has not taken oath

The ceremony was scheduled to be held on Monday, but President Alvi refused to administer the oath to the lawmakers, compelling the government to postpone it.

The Cabinet includes 31 ministers and three ministers of the state. The new Cabinet is a mix of experience and fresh blood. His PML-N got 13 ministries and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s PPP got nine. Three special advisers with the status of a minister have also been nominated. —
