Three members of the delegation did not take the oath. Famous cricketer and fast bowler Wahab Riaz could not participate in this ceremony due to being abroad. Tamkunat Karim and Nasim Sadiq refused to take the oath. It is surprising that Tamkunat Karim and Nasim Sadik were not consulted before entering the cabinet. If these names were added after their approval, probably the reason for rejection was their affiliation to political parties.
Interim governments will be established to conduct transparent and impartial elections in the country. After the dissolution of the assemblies of both Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces, the interim chief and the interim cabinet were sworn in. As for when the new elections will be held in both regions, the announcement of their date is still delayed.
