LAHORE: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Punjab said Monday Governor-designate Sardar Salim Haider would take oath of office on May 10.
Sitting Governor Balighur Rehman is in Saudi Arabia these days to perform Umrah. Sources stated that the oath taking ceremony was delayed so that he could continue to have state protocol overseas which could be withdrawn if the new governor takes oath.
Delay in oath-taking caused speculation that the party is reviewing its decision regarding the new governor. Sardar Salim Haider was elected MNA in 2008 from Attock and served as state minister.
His nomination came as a surprise as the name of senior party leaders like Makhdum Ahmad Mehmood and Qamar Zaman Kaira had been doing rounds for last many days. Sources says PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is likely to attend the oath-taking ceremony.
