Information Minister Fawad Hussian shared the information in a tweet.
“The new governor of Punjab will be announced later. According to the constitution, the deputy speaker will be the acting governor,” he tweeted.
The federal government removed Chaudhry Sarwar from his position as governor of Punjab earlier this morning, just hours before the provincial assembly session where the new chief minister will be elected following Usman Buzdar’s resignation.
