LAHORE: The federal cabinet of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz-led (PML-N) government took oath on Friday at the Presidency, Express News reported.

Earlier, PML-N sources told The Express Tribune about the portfolios various PML-N leaders will be getting.

Prime Minister-elect Nawaz Sharif will personally oversee the sensitive foreign and defence portfolios as he seeks to forge a working partnership with the all-powerful military in the early days of his tenure, sources close to him said on Tuesday.

Nawaz has decided not to appoint defence and foreign ministers in the cabinet he is putting together after having led his party, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), back to power in the May 11 elections.

 The large number of people that came out to vote on May 11 is seen as a sign of democracy.

And it seems that this election witnessed a considerably higher voter turnout than past elections. The numbers, undoubtedly, are promising.
