ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) disgruntled leader Chaudhry Nisar said that former CJP Tassaduq Hussain Jillani is the first priority and is likely to be appointed as the caretaker PM.
“There is no doubt that t
he matter of the caretaker PM will be considered by the parliamentary committee. Tassaduq Hussain Jillani w
ill most likely be appointed as caretaker PM,” Nisar said
during an informal talk with the journalists.
Upon bei
ng question whether he thinks Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will be the country’s next prime minister, Nisar s
aid: “I don’t know, what do you think?”
In a possible reference to PML-N lawmakers who jumped ships to PTI
during the past few months, Nisar said that it is not necessary that those who have joined tehreek-e-insaf will succeed in elections. “Every party has its own electables,” Nisar said.
He also announced that he will be contesting general elections 2018 from four different constituencies, 2 from the the National Assembly and 2 from the Provincial. Nisar added that 95 percent of the PML-N members second his stance, but “there is no one to implement it.”
