Sanjrani received 48 votes against the opposition alliance’s front-runner Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani who claimed 42 votes. 8 votes were rendered invalid due to technical flaws.
According to the presiding officer, 98 senators cast their votes to elect a new Senate chairman. The crucial contest for the top Senate slots commenced after the presiding officer (PO) Syed Muzaffar Hussain Shah administered the oath to the newly-elected senators earlier today.
