Members of the opposition in the National Assembly, who met with Opposition Leader Raja Riaz in the chair on Wednesday, discussed names for the caretaker prime minister. According to reports, over 25 members of the opposition who attended the meeting failed to agree on any name for the position.
They disclosed that initially three names were discussed. However, the members failed to reach a consensus. They added that the opposition members would go into yet another huddle soon to finalize the name. Reports of parties, part of the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), holding consultations for finalizing names for the caretaker setup have been doing rounds ever since the government announced that it would quit in August and a caretaker setup would take over which would last until the next general elections.
