The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has nominated Ishaq Dar as its candidate for the post of caretaker prime minister. The decision was taken by the party's central executive committee on Monday, July 24, 2023.
Dar is a senior PML-N leader and former finance minister. He is currently living in London after being granted bail on medical grounds in a corruption case.
The PML-N's decision to nominate Dar as caretaker PM has been met with mixed reactions. Some have welcomed the decision, saying that Dar is a qualified and experienced person who can provide stability to the country. Others have criticized the decision, saying that Dar is a controversial figure who is not fit to be prime minister.
The caretaker prime minister is appointed by the president before each general election. The caretaker PM is responsible for overseeing the conduct of the election and ensuring that it is free and fair.
The PML-N's decision to nominate Dar as caretaker PM is likely to be challenged by the opposition parties. The PTI has already said that it will challenge the decision in court.
The decision of who will be the next caretaker prime minister is likely to be a matter of political contention in the coming days.
What does Dar's nomination mean for Pakistan?
Dar's nomination as caretaker PM is a significant development in Pakistani politics. It is a sign that the PML-N is confident that it will be able to win the next general election.
Dar is a popular figure among PML-N supporters. He is seen as a competent and experienced politician who can provide stability to the country.
However, Dar is also a controversial figure. He has been accused of corruption and money laundering. It is possible that his nomination as caretaker PM will further polarize Pakistani politics.
What are the next steps?
The next step will be for the president to approve Dar's nomination. The president is not bound to approve the PML-N's nomination. He could also choose to nominate someone else.
If the president approves Dar's nomination, he will then be sworn in as caretaker PM. Dar will then be responsible for overseeing the conduct of the next general election.
The general election is scheduled to be held in October 2023. It will be the first general election since the PML-N came to power in 2022.
The PML-N is confident that it will be able to win the next general election. The party is hoping that Dar's nomination as caretaker PM will help it to achieve this goal.
