10 New Ministers and Advisers Expected, Focus on South Punjab Representation
At Nawaz Sharif’s recommendation, the leadership reached a consensus to induct 10 new ministers and advisers into the Punjab cabinet, with a majority expected to be chosen from South Punjab to enhance regional representation.
