Governor dissolves NWFP Assembly
2007-10-11
NWFP Governor Ali Muhammad Jan Orakzai dissolved the provincial assembly on Wednesday and appointed former WAPDA chairman Shamsul Mulk as the caretaker chief minister. Orakzai will administer the oath of office to Mulk today (Thursday) at 11am. Former chief secretary Sahibzada Imtiaz, former Provincial Public Service Commission chairman Muhammad Abdullah and current Peshawar District Nazim Haji Ghulam Ali were also considered for the post.

Mulk, who is in his dotage over 70 and has also served as provincial irrigation minister, told Dawn News later on Wednesday that he would ensure free, fair and transparent elections. He told APP that his other top priority as caretaker chief minister would be to maintain peace in the province. Sources said the NWFP caretaker setup would consist of five to eight ministers. The PML, PPP-Sherpao and JUI-Fazl are reported to be lobbying for candidates associated with their parties to be appointed in the caretaker cabinet.
