U-turn
LAHORE
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday took another U-turn as it opted to leave out one of its named candidates for the slot of Punjab’s caretaker chief minister who turned out to be a dual national. The PTI in a high-level confab decided to withdraw the nomination of Naseer Khan for the slot of caretaker chief minister. The party has now forwarded two names — Ahmed Sukhera and Naveed Cheema. Cheema is a former chief secretary of Punjab. PTI’s third nominee Nasir Khoosa has already excused himself from taking over even if he is selected by the government and opposition.
