The swearing-in ceremony of Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister-designate Amjad Hussain Advocate, originally scheduled for July 1 in the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly, has been postponed. The announcement was made by Amjad Hussain Advocate himself in a statement released on Sunday.
Reason for Postponement
Amjad Hussain Advocate confirmed that the delay was due to the busy schedule of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was expected to attend the oath-taking ceremony as a special guest. According to the statement, a new date for the event will be announced later.
Background of the Chief Minister-Designate
Amjad Hussain Advocate serves as the president of the PPP's Gilgit-Baltistan chapter. He has been elected to the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly for a second consecutive term, reflecting his sustained political influence in the region.
