Islamabad, June 5 (TNS): After failure of consensus between PTI-led government and opposition party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) choses Justice (retd) Dost Muhammad Khan as caretaker KP chief minister on Tuesday.
A consultative meeting of the electoral body was held earlier on Tuesday.
The matter was earlier forwarded to the electoral body after the parliamentary committee constituted to nominate the caretaker chief minister was unable to finalise a candidate for the post.
Former chief minister of KP Pervez Khattak had recommended bureaucrats Himayatullah Khan and Ejaz Ahmed Qureshi, while leader of the dissolved opposition Maulana Lutfur Rehman had proposed the names of businessperson Manzoor Khan Afridi and Justice (retd) Dost Muhammad Khan.
