Arif Alvi to Take Oath as Pakistan President Today.

Arif Alvi will take oath as the 13th president of Pakistan on Sunday.

Alvi, a close ally of prime minister Imran Khan and one of the founding members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, was elected as the president on September 4.

"I left no stone unturned in fulfilling the responsibilities given to me by the people of Pakistan," he said.

Alvi, the 69-year-old former dentist, had defeated Pakistan Peoples Party candidate Aitzaz Ahsan and the Pakistan Muslim League-N nominee Maulana Fazl ur Rehman.

In Pakistan, the President is considered as a symbol of the federation and head of the state and exercises all powers on the recommendations of the prime minister.
