(PTI) workers in the legislature, reported Geo News on Wednesday.

The session had to begin at 11am but was delayed as the elected politicians were facing difficulty in entering the assembly hall as multiple PTI workers tried entering the floor and even threw a "lota" and a shoe at Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz's (PML-N) Sobia Shahid.
A "lota" is a "portable bidet," a jug that can be used for butt scrubbies.

if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
25 of the reserved seats have not been notified yet as the matter is currently being heard by the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP).

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising. And then he smelled the smoke...
two of the general seats remain vacant as elections on these two were deferred owing to the deaths of candidates in the respective constituencies.

Once the oath was administered, Speaker Ghani announced that the election for the new speaker and deputy speaker of the House would be held tomorrow (February 29).

The MPAs willing to contest for the coveted slot will have time till 5pm today to submit their nomination papers while those willing to withdraw from the polls can take back their papers by midnight, said the speaker.

"Polling for the speaker and deputy speaker election will be held tomorrow at 10am," announced Speaker Ghani.

PTI founder Imran Khan

...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
had announced Aqibullah Khan as the candidate for the KP speaker. But it has emerged today that the PTI founder has reverted his decision to name Aqibullah Khan as the new speaker.

PTI Secretary Gneral Omar Ayub Khan announced today that PTI founder Imran Khan has now nominated Babar Salim Swati as the candidate for the KP Assembly speaker.
