Pakistan’s Ex-Chief Justice Takes Oath as Caretaker Prime Minister

Pakistan’s former Chief Justice has taken oath as the Caretaker Prime Minister, marking a key political transition ahead of the upcoming general elections. The oath-taking ceremony was held in Islamabad and attended by senior political leaders, officials, and dignitaries.

The appointment of the caretaker prime minister is aimed at ensuring a neutral and transparent electoral process during the interim period. As per constitutional provisions, the caretaker government will oversee day-to-day administration and facilitate free and fair elections without taking major policy decisions.

Political observers believe the selection of a former chief justice reflects an effort to maintain institutional credibility and public confidence during the transition. The caretaker prime minister is expected to work closely with the Election Commission of Pakistan to ensure smooth conduct of the polls.

The development comes at a crucial time as Pakistan prepares for elections amid economic and political challenges. The caretaker setup will remain in place until a new elected government assumes office following the completion of the electoral process.
