The core committee of PTI has proposed the name of former Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed as the caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan, ex-information and law minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Monday, Geo News reported.

The proposal of Gulzar — who laid down his robes on February 1, 2022 — came after President Arif Alvi sent letters to Prime Minister Imran Khan and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif to seek suggestions for the appointment of a caretaker Prime Minister.

In case the two politicians can’t reach a consensus over one name within three days, each one of them will send two names to the parliamentarian committee responsible for appointing a caretaker Prime Minister.
