President-elect Mamnoon Hussain will take oath as Pakistan’s 12th President on Monday after Asif Ali Zardari completed his uninterrupted five-year tenure on Sunday. Zardari is the first president of Pakistan to have completed his tenure without any external intervention.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry will administer the oath at Aiwan-e-Sadr. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, provincial and national ministers, political leaders, diplomats and senior military officials will attend the ceremony.
During the previous PPP-led government, the president was considered to have a more stronghold than the premier, whereas the current PML-N government has ensured that the prime minister remains stronger than the president.
Mamnoon Hussain, 73, is an entrepreneur by profession and has worked very closely with PM Nawaz. He was born in Agra in 1940 and migrated to Karachi after 1947. He studied at the Institute of Business Administration in Karachi. Hussain entered politics to support PML-N and became the Governor of Sindh for a few months in 1999.
Defeating his rivals in a predictable result, Hussain bagged 432 votes of the Electoral College in the presidential elections on July 30th. Wajihuddin Ahmed of PTI stood against him and took 77 votes while the main opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) boycotted the presidential election in order to protest against SCP’s decision to change the election date.
