ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz has decided to bring in Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as an interim prime minister for a few weeks before electing Shahbaz Sharif to the post, according to Geo News.
Earlier, it was reported that most PMLN leaders and members of Sharif family agreed on former defence minister Khawaja Muhamamd Asif's name as the interim prime minister.
The former defence minister, who is considered one of the most trusted allies of Nawaz Sharif, has held a ****** of key positions within the PML-N since 1991. He was elected to the National Assembly from Sialkot.
