Federal cabinet expansion: Two new Ministers likely to be inducted

ISLAMABAD – Two new ministers are likely to be inducted in the Federal Cabinet, it has been revealed.

Prime Minister Imran Khan is set to expand the federal cabinet with the induction of two new ministers that will take its strength to 36.

Details suggest that Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) each have been assured by the government of one more ministry.

Pervaiz Elahi’s son Moonis Elahi has been decided to be inducted into the cabinet and will likely take oath of Minister for Industries and Production next week.

BAP has also demanded one more ministry during their meeting with the premier.

The cabinet currently has 24 ministers, six state ministers and four advisers. Besides them, there are four special assistants to the prime minister, who are generally not considered to be part of the federal cabinet.
