Further, Aleem Khan, Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, Pervaiz Elahi and Fawad Chaudhary are also being seen as the top contenders for the coveted position in case PTI is successful in forming its government in Punjab.
According to media reports, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Pervaiz Elahi has also started contacting independent candidates in the province.
It was reported that Elahi was reaching out to the same independent candidates that the PTI was bidding for.
Earlier, People took to Twitter to appeal to PTI’s senior leadership to select the doctor for Punjab’s top office.
Actor and writer, Vasay Chaudhry said, “If there is one person who’s loss has made me sad, it’s Dr Yasmin Rashid and I wish PTI gives her a reserved seat in the Punjab assembly and make her CM because it would be the most brilliant thing to have a woman CM who is hardworking, upright, Loyal and from the working class.”
