The summoning of the session comes just hours before the scheduled oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected Members of the National Assembly of Pakistan. President Alvi, however, expressed concerns about the tone used in the summary submitted by interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Kakar. He clarified that the previous action was in accordance with the provisions of Article 48(1) of the Constitution.

On the opposition benches, Omar Ayub Khan, former Speaker Asad Qaiser, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and Mahmood Khan Achakzai will occupy the front row.
