Caretaker PM will be finalized today: ECP
The ECP has received a letter from parliamentary committee.
ISLAMABAD: The meeting of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is underway to select the caretaker prime minister from the list of four — Justice (retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid, Justice (retd) Mir Hazar Khan Khoso, Dr Ishrat Hussain and Rasool Bakhsh Palejo.
The commission will have to finalize a name out of the list within two days.
Meanwhile, the secretary election commission said that the name of the caretaker PM will be decided by today.
The politicians on Friday admitted their failure in selecting a caretaker prime minister and referred the matter to the court of the ECP.
Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan failed to select a caretaker prime minister, and the parliamentary committee held meetings for three days but could not reach a consensus in picking up a name, indicating that those who were preaching the supremacy of parliament were not able to make a decision.
