This is because Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and its allies have a simple majority in the House, so there is no problem in their occupying the top position.

Meanwhile, PMLN has captured both the posts of Speaker and Deputy Speaker in the Punjab Assembly. The election for the post of Chief Minister will be between PMLN’s 50-year-old Maryam Nawaz and Imran Khan’s PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) candidate Rana Aftab Ahmed.
