| JUI-F likely to get three federal ministries |
| 2008-03-19 |
| The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will get three ministries at the Centre on a basis of an agreement reached by the four partners of the national coalition government on Tuesday. The four coalition parties — the Awami National Party (ANP), the Pakistan Peoplee’s Party (PPP), the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and the JUI-F — held a meeting here to discuss the formula for ministriess’ distribution at the Centre. A source privy to the meeting told Daily Times that the JUI-F would be given at least three ministries, as the party enjoys more representation in the Senate as compared to its would-be partners. The JUI-F only had six members in the National Assembly, which qualifies it for only one ministry under the formula agreed upon between the PPP, the ANP and the PML-N. |
