The Maryam ministry is the Provincial Cabinet of Punjab, Pakistan headed by the present Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz. The oath-taking ceremony of Maryam as Chief Minister was held on 25 February 2024.[1] The 18-member cabinet ministers took oath on 6 March.[2]
Marriyum Aurangzeb was made a senior minister,[3] virtually making her the deputy chief minister of Punjab,[4] reportedly, due to Maryam Nawaz's lack of parliamentary experience. Aurangzeb, instead of being assigned to the federal government, was transferred to the Punjab government to assist Maryam in handling the provincial government’s affairs. This also caused a stir among the PML-N MPAs in Punjab Assembly.[5][6]
Reportedly, Maryam's father Nawaz Sharif, endorsed the selection of cabinet ministers,[7] whom Maryam also referred to as her mentor.[1]
History
Inauguration
Provincial elections were held in Punjab on 8 February 2024 to elect 18th Provincial Assembly of the Punjab. Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) won 137 out of total 297 direct seats in the Punjab Assembly.[8] Later, 23 independent candidates who won direct seats also joined PML-N.[9]
On 26 February 2024, Senior Vice President of PML-N and MPA Maryam Nawaz was elected by the PML-N legislative members as their leader in the assembly and later, the same day she took oath as the Chief Minister in the Punjab government in a public ceremony in Lahore.[1] On 6 March, an 18-member provincial cabinet of Chief Minister Maryam, was sworn in.[2] Maryam relative Bilal Yasin was made the Minister for Food while her close associate Faisal Ayub Khokhar, was given the portfolio of the Sports Affairs ministry.[4]
She also appointed three ministers from her uncle Shahbaz Sharif’s third provincial Punjab cabinet namely, Khawaja Imran Nazir, Khawaja Salman Rafique, and Mian Mujtaba Shuja-ur-Rehman.[4] The cabinet comprised two female ministers; Marriyum Aurangzeb and Azma Bukhari, and two ministers from Non-Muslim community; Khalil Tahir Sandhu and Ramesh Singh Arora.[10]
Major decisions
Shortly after assuming office as Chief Minister, Maryam announced the establishment of first public cancer hospital to be built in Lahore.[11] She launched various initiatives such as Ramadan Nigehban (Guardian Ramadan) Package to deliver essential food items to the needy people before the start of Ramadan,[12] Suthra Punjab (Clean Punjab) campaign to cleanup whole of Punjab within a month,[13] Sarkain Bahal Punjab Khushhaal project to construct, repair and rehabilitate roads in Punjab, Never Again to eliminate violence against women,[14] and Apni Chat Apna Ghar project to provide homes for the poor.[15]
On 11 March, she approved the procurement of 657 environment-friendly buses and 20,000 electric bikes for the urban areas of Punjab, a promise she made during her first speech.[16][17]
