-

 LAHORE – Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of PML-N supremo, has become the first woman in Pakistan’s history to become a chief minister.As she was elected as leader of the house in the Punjab Assembly on Monday 



The voting to elect new chief minister was held in provincial assembly amid boycott of Sunni Ittehad Council.

Maryam Nawaz secured 220 votes while Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan got no votes amid boycott.

According to the details, Maryam Nawaz has been elected as first female Chief minister of Punjab. PML-N leader is also the first woman to hold this office in any of the provinces in the history of Pakistan.

The process of vote counting for other members is underway.

Pakistan's largest region Punjab summoned assembly session to elect its Chief Minister today as Pakistan Muslim League PML-N, and PTI-backed candidates vying for coveted position.

The closely watched polls for Leader of the House in the Punjab Assembly will take place at 11am today. The daughter of PML-N supremo Maryam Nawaz earlier submitted her nomination papers for the chief minister seat. 

Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) fielded Rana Aftab Khan as a candidate for the top slot in the provincial legislature.

PTI-backed Rana Aftab was picked for the coveted role after initial nominee Mian Aslam Iqbal faced threats of detention in previous cases.

Over the weekend, Malik Ahmed Khan won the Punjab Assembly speaker seat.

Earlier, Rana Aftab expressed concern over alleged denial of PTI members from attending the assembly session but asserted that the lives of their workers were more important than positions. He expressed confidence in winning the coveted seat.

Punjab Police also tried arresting its previous nominee, Mian Aslam. PTI Secretary General Hammad Azhar stated that Mian Aslam was nominated by Imran Khan but due to police presence, Rana Aftab was chosen. Azhar claimed PTI had 212 MPA's support, contrasting PML-N's 40 members.

Mian Aslam was granted protective bail in 18 cases related to last year's riots but faced arrest attempts by Punjab Police. He later criticized the police's actions, citing disregard for the Constitution and law.

Tom Holland once said that he thinks he has no “ rizz ,” shorthand for “charisma,” whatsoever. But it just so happens his girlfriend Zendaya disagrees. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma… is Mr. Tom Holland,” she said in an  interview  with Buzzfeed published Thursday, issuing a rare comment on her partner. Taking it a step further, the “Dune” star went on to say that Holland possesses more “rizz” than she does because, believe it or not, she’s actually kind of “shy and kind of quiet.” Because of that, Zendaya said, “it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell, but he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people.”   Because of that, Zendaya said, “it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell, but he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people.” “You see him on talk shows and stuff like that, he’s just naturally very good at that.

 to climate c LOS ANGELES — A wave of intense rainstorms has accelerated landslides and contributed to damaging coastal erosion in California, leaving  multimillion-dollar homes on cliffs’ edge,  sending  hundred-foot palm trees toppling into the surf  and forcing the closure of a historic chapel.  The state is now drying out, but impacts from a second season of extreme rainfall could be felt for years to come. Climate change, which is intensifying rates of rainfall, spurring sea level rise and making droughts more severe, is contributing to some of the forces reshaping the California landscape.  This season’s storms have offered Californians a dramatic reveal and a preview of the consequences of a warming world, as slow-moving processes that scientists have warned about accelerate in plain view.
