ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain Saturday was given a farewell guard of honour at Aiwan-e-Sadr on completion of his five-year constitutional term.
Clad in brown shalwar kameez and charcoal waistcoat, the president arrived at the forecourt of the Aiwan-e-Sadr in a buggy being pulled by the horses.
The president was escorted to the salute dais and, after the national anthem, reviewed the guard of honour presented by the smartly turned out contingents of the armed forces.
The septuagenarian Mamnoon Hussain took oath as 12th head of state on September 9, 2013 after his election as a candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
The president shook hand with the Presidency staffers, who later gave him a warm send-off.
Dr Arif Alvi, the president-elect of Pakistan Threek-e-Insaf (PTI) will be sworn in on Sunday.
