Imran Khan to consult Parvez Elahi on nominees for caretaker CM today: Fawad.

LAHORE -- Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will consult with Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leader Parvez Elahi on their nominees to take up the position of interim chief minister (CM), PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said on Sunday.

In a tweet, the PTI senior vice president said that under Article 224 of the constitution, both the CM and the leader of the opposition should name an interim CM with consensus. "If the two leaders fail to reach an agreement, then two proposed names from each side will be sent to a parliamentary committee," he added.

Fawad added if the parliamentary committee also fails to decide then the same names are sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

"The ECP does not have the authority to name someone out of the list given," he added.

The Punjab Assembly dissolved on Saturday after the governor, Baligh Ur Rehman, refused to sign on the summary sent for disbanding the legislative.

Elahi - will serve as CM until a caretaker government is appointed - had forwarded the summary of dissolution on Thursday, and as per the Constitution, the assembly dissolves within 48 hours regardless of the governor's decision.

Following the dissolution, Rehman sent letters to CM Elahi and Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz for the appointment of a caretaker government.
