Governor Punjab Green Signals Pervaiz Elahi for Appointment of Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab as PTI dissolved the Provincial Assembly.
While taking to Twitter Governor Punjab wrote.
The Chief Minister of Punjab and the leader of the Opposition could not agree on the name for the appointment of the caretaker Chief Minister of the Province. A letter has been issued by the Governor to the speaker asking him to proceed with the constitutional process of article 224A(2) for appointing the caretaker chief minister under the constitution.
Remember that CM Pervaiz Elahi dissolved the Punjab Assembly after which he sends the summary to Governor Punjab for Approval that was rejected by Governor Punjab.
According to Article if Governor Reject the summary then after 48 hours Assembly will be dissolved automatically. After the Assemblies dissolution, three names were proposed by PTI for the appointment of Caretaker CM and were sent to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for Approval but no decision on the appointment was made yet.
So keeping this in view Governor Punjab advises Pervaiz Elahi to the appointment the Caretaker Chief Minister of his own choice according to constitution article number 224A(2).
It is to be intimated that CM Mahmood Khan also signed the summary for KPK Assembly Dissolution.
In the Summary, it was mentioned by CM KPK.

KPK Government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif confirmed the development by saying that the summary for the dissolution of the assembly has been forwarded to the Governor.
“Even if the governor does not approve the summary, the assembly will automatically stand dissolved after 48 hours,” he added.
Now Latest reports are that CM KPK Signed the summary for the dissolution of the Assembly and the Assembly will be dissolved after 48 hours even if the governor did not sign the summary.
