Mention the words Punjab Governor and the prime minister still winces, some say. After all, Ch Sarwar did leave considerable egg on N’s face, even after waiting a while to avoid leaving egg on N’s face. But such is politics. Sarwar even added insult to injury by lobbying for Chan ahead of the Senate election, but that’s another story. Word is that the Governor House is going to have another occupant. And no, the stop-gap arrangement is not turning permanent. First there was talk of a famous pro-N journalist. But then some smart minds convinced Nawaz how keeping him in the media might be better; best not dry what little good press is in the offing. So now it’s apparently come down to the first female prospect for the job, PML-N stalwart Zakia Shahnawaz from Isakhel. Impressive how a journalist’s work was rated above personality, and how that paved the way for woman power.
