PM Khoso promises on time transition to new gov’t

Caretaker Prime Minister, Mir Hazar Khan Khoso, Thursday promised to transfer power to the incoming government on time.

Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) party of two-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, emerged as the single largest party in the May 11 general elections and he is set to lead the country for third time.

“The next phase of democratic transition, which is the transfer of power to the newly elected Government, in accordance with the Constitution and the will of the people of Pakistan will be completed soon and in stipulated time,” Prime Minister Khoso told the cabinet.

Information Minister, Arif Nizami, said this week that the transition process will be completed by June 2.

The Prime Minister congratulated the nation for taking part in the elections and said that the first ever democratic transition of power is taking place in the country’s history.

“I am thankful to the people of Pakistan for coming out in large numbers to exercise their right to vote,” he said.

He said the nation’s fearless participation in general elections has proved that it can defeat militancy and sectarianism with the spirit of collective well being of the people.

“Holding the timely election is a great victory of the people, democracy and the system,” he said, adding that all institutions worked day and night to accomplish the difficult task despite adverse circumstances.

The PML-N has intensified efforts to win the support of other parties for a good working relationship in the the parliament.

The party’s senior leader Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Islamabad on Thursday to meet some political leaders.

Shehbaz told reporters that the country is facing massive challenges and his party will make efforts to seek cooperation of other parties in the parliament to find out solution to the problems.
