Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has decided to expand the federal cabinet, planning to add 10 new members.
According to sources, the expansion is expected to be announced this month. The move is seen as an effort to bring in experienced and seasoned politicians, as desired by PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.
The new additions to the cabinet are expected to include PML-N leaders including Sardar Yousaf, Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, Barrister Aqeel, Hanif Abbasi, Saad Waseem, and Sheikh Aftab, whereas two women leaders are likely to be included to the cabinet.
In May this year, PM Shehbaz Sharif expanded his federal cabinet by inducting MNA Ali Pervaiz Malik.
The prime minister approved the appointment of Ali Pervaiz Malik as state minister.
