Speaking to the media in Lahore, Sethi said that the democratic government is being handed the mandate of the province in a constitutional manner.
Sethi also refuted reports of being appointed as the ambassador to the US under the new government.
This will be the third time Shahbaz has held the Punjab CM post, the first being from 1997 to 1999 and the second from 2008 to 2013.
The first Punjab Assembly session is due on May 29, according to unofficial reports, in which all newly elected members of the provincial assembly will take oath.
On May 31, another session will be called where the assembly’s speaker, deputy speaker and leader of the house (Punjab chief minister) will be elected.
The PML-N and the Punjab opposition will introduce their nominees for a house leader, after which the assembly members will proceed to elect one of them for the office.

Punjab is lucky to have him. He is the most hardworking leader in the world.
and what Shehbaz Sharief will be doing till June 6? doesn't he aware people voted for him to get the electricity ASAP so what's the point of delaying and not getting the office. If this time people in Punjab didn't get the electricity.....you won't be able to stop long march.
Salam. The title says June 6th whereas the story says June 9th :p please fix it.
