KARACHI: Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assemblies dissolved after completion of their full term, while the National Assembly, and the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Balochistan are to complete their term on May 31.
The government and opposition have already picked caretaker prime minister, while the interim chief minister who will head caretaker set-up in Punjab has also been named. However, the government and opposition in the rest provinces of the country are yet to reach consensus over names for caretaker CMs.
A day earlier, PTI chief Imran Khan rejected businessman Manzoor Afridi’s candidature for the office of caretaker chief minister KP after the allegations that his nomination was a result of a covert deal between Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and leader of the opposition Maulana Lutfur Rehman.
After the withdrawal of Afridi’s nomination, the two leaders are back to square one, holding consultations to pick a consensus person for the position.
The opposition leader has reportedly refused to withdraw Afridi’s nomination, resulting in a deadlock.
A PTI leader confirmed that there is a deadlock between the two sides, and if it persists, the matter is likely to be referred to a parliamentary today.
