President Zardari summons NA, Senate sessions on June 10

President Asif Ali Zardari summoned a session of the National Assembly on June 10, at 5pm in the Parliament House.

“The President has summoned the National Assembly session for tomorrow, Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 5 PM in the Parliament House. The President has summoned the session by exercising the powers conferred under Article 54 Clause 1 of the Constitution.”

This will be the “28th session of the 16th National Assembly”.

President Zardari also summoned a session of the Senate at 4pm on June 10, according to a post on social media by the president’s office.

Earlier today, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said that the budget for the next fiscal year (FY2026-27) would likely be presented in the parliament on June 12 (Friday).

Chaudhry stated further that summaries to convene budget sessions in the National Assembly and Senate on June 10 (Wednesday) had been sent to the presidency for approval.

Before Chaudhry’s statement, uncertainty had surrounded the date for the budget’s presentation as the federal government, its coalition partners and provincial governments struggled to reach a consensus over the Centre’s demand for more than Rs1 trillion for strategic needs.

The meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) was postponed for the third time on Monday at the last moment amid continuing negotiations over the freezing of provincial shares in the federal divisible pool under the NFC Award.
