ISLAMABAD: Leader of the opposition in the National Assembly (NA), Khursheed Shah revealed on Friday that he and Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had agreed on who would become Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister when the incumbent government gives up power on the 31st of May.

The veteran politician and PPP leader, however, refused to say who the person was and claimed that the name would be revealed on the 15th of May.
