What Does Pakistan Law Say On This

According to the country’s Constitution, a caretaker prime minister is appointed if the prime minister and the head of the NA opposition cannot agree on a person within three days. According to the law, the parliamentary delegation will receive the preferences of the prime minister and the leader of the opposition for the coveted job. After then, the parliamentary committee will have three days to decide on the temporary prime minister’s name.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will choose the caretaker prime minister from the names put forth by the opposition and the government within two days, according to Geo News, if the committee is unable to agree on a choice.
