Retired judge Nasir-ul-Mulk has been named as interim Prime Minister of Pakistan until the general election on July 25. With this, the deadlock between ruling PML-N and the opposition over picking up an interim prime minister has finally come to an end. The present government will complete the tenure on May 31 and the caretaker government will take over from June 1 and remain in office until a new government is set up through elections.
Pakistan will hold general elections on July 25, a presidential spokesman has said. Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf is expected to be the main challenger to the ruling party in the general elections. The country experienced its first democratic transition of power in 2013, when the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) came out on top as the biggest party.
