When the Supreme Court Of Pakistan declared the former Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani as ineligible to hold the office all the media persons were in a race to find out the new Prime Minster candidate.
Makhdoom Shahabuddin who was working as the textile minister in the Gilani cabinet name has been finalized by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) cec, chairman and co-chairman for designation and it is expected that he will take the oath as the Prime Minister of Pakistan very soon.
While former Prime Minister Gilani did have a little problem in the nomination of Makhdoom Shahabuddin as the Prime Minister as he is also from Southern Punjab and there are chances that Gilani influence in the Southern Punjab may get low.
On the other hand a veteran PPP loyalist Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar who is from Gujrat has differences with PML-Q leadership Chaudhry brothers who are from Gujrat as well whereas PPP can’t take the risk to sad the PML-Q so the only choice left was Makhdoom Shahabuddin.
All the allies party are supporting the PPP nominated candidate but PPP has also promised the Chaudhry brothers to give a deputy Prime Minister seat and the summary regarding this has been sent to the President and he will sign it very soon.
