Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Wednesday said the incumbent government would complete its constitutional term and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would remain in office for the full five-year tenure.
Naqvi made the remarks while speaking to the media outside the Interior Ministry in Islamabad, a week after saying the country’s governance system had “collapsed” and arguing that Pakistan needed new administrative units, or provinces, to improve service delivery, accountability and access to justice.
A day later, the military’s spokesperson also called on political parties to consider an administrative reset to improve governance, arguing that the country’s security and stability depended on adapting its governance structure to the demands of modern times and a growing population.
“The future for the government is the completion of its five-year tenure … Shehbaz sahib will remain the prime minister for five years … the prime minister will complete his five-year term,” Naqvi maintained.
