He said that after the swearing-in ceremony, the National Assembly elects the Speaker and Deputy Speaker before electing the Prime Minister.
Barrister Numan Bukhari said that the President has no power to invite any person or party to form the government after the passage of the 18th constitutional amendment.
He said that coalition government is the best solution to deal with all the challenges including economy, climate change, poverty and illiteracy.
