Islamabad: The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) disclosed that Faisal Karim Kundi and Sardar Salim Haider are poised to be appointed as Governors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab, respectively, the sources said on Friday.
The sources confirmed that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has given his seal of approval to Sardar Salim Haider's nomination for the Governorship of Punjab. It is expected that the federal government will officially announce Sardar Salim Haider's appointment on Friday.
The PPP finalized its selections for these pivotal roles, and announcements regarding their appointments are anticipated in the near future.
Sardar Salim Haider, a former Member of the National Assembly elected from Attock on the PPP ticket in 2008, previously served as the Foreign Minister in the cabinets of Prime Ministers Yousuf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf.
Similarly, Faisal Karim Kundi is anticipated to assume the role of Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Kundi, who served as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly from 2008 to 2013, also held the position of Adviser to the Prime Minister in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government.
It may be mentioned here that the decision to appoint governors from the PPP for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab was part of an agreement between the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in their power-sharing arrangement preceding the formation of the federal government.
