Sources within the MQM-P and GDA informed The News that the GDA has so far put forward seven names while the MQM-P has suggested two names in the two meetings held between them so far to come up with joint names for the caretaker CM.

The two opposition parties have decided to continue meetings in order to reach a consensus. The seven names proposed by the GDA include its General Secretary Dr Safdar Abbasi, Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi, Fazalullah Qureshi, Rehmat Hussain Jafri, Hussain Haroon and two others. The MQM-P has recommended Shoaib Siddiqqui and Younus Dagha for the caretaker CM.
