Cheema has been selected as the next governor of Punjab.
Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar, a PTI politician from Punjab, has been named the next governor of Punjab, succeeding Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar, who was fired on Sunday morning.
Sarwar was fired by the federal government as political tensions reached a zenith ahead of the vote on a no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
According to federal government sources, Sarwar was dismissed from his role at the request of PML-Q leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi for reportedly advocating for Hamza Shahbaz during the chief minister election.
In a news conference soon after being ousted, the ex-governor said that if there was a foreign plot against the current government, it was to elect Buzdar as chief minister.
He said that even though Imran Khan had a lot of good candidates, like Fawad Chaudhry, he chose Usman Buzdar as chief minister because only he could lead Punjab toward the goal of “Naya Pakistan.”
“All PTI workers — in Punjab, Pakistan — and federal ministers protested to us about whether this was the Pakistan they wanted, with the chief secretary and inspector general changing every three months,“ the former governor said.
