Senator Anwarul Haq Kakar is the caretaker prime minister

Senator Anwarul Haq Kakar has been selected as Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said on Saturday.

PM Shehbaz and Riaz have sent an advice regarding Kakar’s appointment as the caretaker prime minister to President Alvi, the statement added. The premier thanked the opposition leader for his cooperation in the consultation process for the nomination of the caretaker PM.

Shortly afterwards, the president approved the summary under Article 224 A of the Constitution. The decision comes after the second round of consultations between PM Shehbaz Sharif and Raja Riaz. “We decided that the interim prime minister would be from a smaller province,” said Raja, adding that consensus has been reached that Anwarul Haq Kakar will be the caretaker PM.

A day after the premature dissolution of the National Assembly, PM Shehbaz and opposition leader Raja Riaz began meetings to select a candidate for the caretaker premier after the National Assembly (NA) stood dissolved on August 9.
