Soomro to be caretaker PM

ISLAMABAD—The name of the Chairman Senate, Mianmuhammad Soomro has been finalized for the post of caretaker PM. Sources have informed that it has (also) been confirmed by big official guns like, Chaudhry Shujaat, Sheikh Rashid, and others, that Soomro Sahib would take oath as caretaker PM, after resigning his post of Chairman Senate.
However despite all the ballyhoo, no suggestion has yet been forwarded by President Musharraf, hence it is strongly possible that Mr. Soomro would be the ultimate choice for the top slot. Meanwhile the present Assembly would stand dissolved at 0000hrs midnight, and according to federal minister Sher Afgan Niazi, the PM does not require any special Presidential decree.
The Provincial assemblies would be dissolved by 20th Nov, according to which the presiding CMs would advise Governors to dissolve the Provincial assemblies.
Following the successful completion of five year term of the incumbent Government, President General Pervez Musharraf will formally host a farewell dinner in honour of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, Members of Federal Cabinet and Respected Members of PML (Q) and its Allied Parties on Thursday (today). It is pertinent to mention that National Assembly is about to complete its five-year term for the first time in the history of Pakistan in spite of military rule in the country.—Online
