The PPP Core Committee on Tuesday finalised Senator Nayyar Hussain Bukhari as the new Senate chairman to replace Farooq Naik. The PPP high command decided after consulting with the coalition partners in the government, including the ANP, PML-Q and MQM. It is pertinent to mention here that the names of others candidates in the race for chairmanship were President’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar, Aitzaz Ahsan and Dr Babar Awan. However, the PPP Core Committee finalised Senator Nayyar Hussain Bukhari for the slot. Aitzaz was earlier being tipped the favourite, however, analysts suggested that since Aitzaz was representing the government in key cases, including the PM contempt case, it would be difficult for him to be relieved of the duties crucial to the PPP as a party. Meanwhile, the Awami National Party (ANP) withdrew its demand of being provided the slot Senate deputy chairman. President Asif Ali Zardari apologised to ANP chief Asfand Yar Wali Khan that Senate deputy chairmanship could not be given to the ANP as the PPP was considering giving the seat to a senator from Balochistan.
