Prime Minister Imran Khan has started interviewing some of the elected members of the Azad Jammu Kashmir Legislative Assembly for the slot of AJK prime minister, reports Dawn.
Barrister Sultan Mahmood, Khawaja Farooq, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan, and Azhar Sadiq had separate meetings with PM Imran.
PM Khan is expected to announce the name of the new AJK premier before August 5.
Speaking with Dawn, Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry said, “Yes, the prime minister has started interviews of candidates and now no one can call himself as the most favourite one.”
Chaudhry said four to five candidates for the office of AJK premier met PM Khan on Thursday and almost the same number of people would meet him on Friday.
“The prime minister is taking lengthy interviews of the candidates in which he is asking questions about the environment, tourism, economy, border issues, and their future plans,” he added.
Fawad said PM Khan would also finalise the names of the president and speaker and deputy speaker of the AJK Legislative Assembly.
