Islamabad, 18/4: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to form a new Cabinet on Monday after a week-long delay amid deliberations on how to accommodate all coalition partners, according to a media report.
Pakistan’s Parliament last week elected Sharif, President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), as the new prime minister after the ouster of Imran Khan through a no-trust vote. But the new Cabinet could not be formed as Sharif wanted to accommodate all his allies in the government.
“Members of the federal Cabinet are taking oath tomorrow (Monday),” Marriyum Aurangzeb, who is likely to become information minister, told Dawn newspaper on Sunday.
However, there was uncertainty about whether Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will become a part of the Cabinet or abstain over a “disagreement” about the distribution of ministries, the newspaper reported.
