Agreement between Pakistan's major parties casts shadow on premiership
Adjust font size:

A local newspaper The Nation reported on Monday that the whole party of PPP was in favor of Amin Fahim's candidature for the premiership.

Amin Fahim is also facing opposition from Nawaz Sharif, chief of the PML-N, said the report, adding that Sharif was highly skeptical of Fahim's future moves if he was elected Prime Minister.

Sharif was doubtful about Fahim's intentions to implement the coalition government's agenda of restoring the deposed judges after the stipulated time agreed upon between the two parties. In addition, Sharif also believed Fahim might also be disinclined to President Pervez Musharraf's impeachment by the parliament if this option was considered at some later stage, according to The Nation report.

Zardari, who had repeatedly told media that he would nominate Amin Fahim as the PM candidate, was quoted by The Nation as saying that the PPP would review its earlier decisions on PM slot.

A report filed by local newspaper The News on Monday said that Zardari had finally decided to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan after three months. Before that he would field a Prime Minister from Punjab province only for 90 days, said the report.
