Four names under consideration for Punjab governor slot

LAHORE: Four names are being considered by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the post of Punjab governor.

According to reports, Babar Awan, Rai Azizullah, Ishaq Khakwani and Ejaz Chaudhry’s names are being considered.

Jahangir Tareen is hopeful Ishaq Khakwani is appointed at the post while Azizullah is considered to be close to PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

On the other hand, Babar Awan and Ejaz Chaudhry are being considered because the former can be tough for opposition parties to handle while the latter is reputed for his services for PTI.

Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) and PTI are locked in a tug of war over forming the government in Punjab although PTI claims it has attained a majority after gaining support from independent candidates and smaller parties.
