The National Assembly resumed its session at the Parliament House in Islamabad on Monday with Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri in the chair.

The House is set to elect New Leader of the House after former Prime Minister Imran Khan was voted out as a result of no-confidence.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is representing the joint opposition while PTI and its allies have fielded Shah Mahmood Qureshi for the office of Prime Minister.

Taking the floor, Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Shah Mahmood Qureshi announced to boycott the election to the leader of the house. He said the decision to this effect was taken in a party meeting chaired by Chairman Imran Khan. On behalf of the PTI members, he also announced resignations from the National Assembly.

Later, the PTI members walked out of the house.
