Speaker Ayaz Sadiq would administer the oath to the newly elected candidates. After this, Sadiq would himself take oath as the member of the NA.

Pakistan went to polls on July 25 and Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party had emerged as the single largest party with 116 seats after the ECP released the complete results for 270 of 272 NA constituencies.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) which won 64 seats came second, while the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) bagged 43 seats and finished third.
