Islamabad (Web Desk): The PML-N is considering proposing the name of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar for the caretaker prime minister.
According to sources, the government is considering amending Section 230 of the Elections Act 2017, empowering the caretaker set-up to take economic decisions. They said that the amendments to the elections act might be introduced in the National Assembly next week. The amendments would allow the caretaker government to take decisions necessary to revive economy.
Meanwhile, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari have arrived in Dubai.
It is being expected that the PML-N and PPP leaderships will consult on who the caretaker prime minister will be once the government dissolves the National Assembly next month.
The sources further said that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman will also be consulted for the future political set-up as the JUI-F chief had expressed displeasure over the political meetings held in Dubai last month.
