The anti-government alliance, PDM, along with major opposition party PPP has devised a possible power-sharing formula if no-confidence motion succeeds against the PTI-led government both at Centre and in Punjab.

Under the formula, PML-Q senior leader Pervaiz Elahi will likely be given the portfolio of Punjab chief minister while the size of provincial cabinet will be downsized, according to the insiders.

As of now, the Punjab cabinet consists of 38 ministers, four advisers and four special assistants.

The PML-N lawmaker will be elected as Punjab Assembly Speaker and PPP’s Qamar Zaman Kaira’s name has been proposed for the slot of province’s governor.

Most of the ministries in the Punjab cabinet will be given to the PML-N lawmakers while PPP and PML-Q will also get share under the proposed power-sharing deal.

Meanwhile, the sources said that the ticket of PML-N has become a “hot cake” amid fluid political situation. Last night four MPAs of Punjab Assembly met with the PML-N leadership and assured them of their support and more than 18 MPAs belonging to the three divisions of South Punjab have also agreed to support the party, they added.
