Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Wednesday gave the additional charge of interior ministry to caretaker Commerce Minister Gohar Ejaz after Sarfraz Bugti resigned from the post last month.

The cabinet division announced his appointment with immediate effect after caretaker PM Kakar approved Ejaz’s new assignment.

It is pertinent to mention that PM Kakar accepted Bugti’s resignation on December 15, 2023. The resignation was submitted on December 13.

Few days later, Bugti joined the PPP days and was reported to contest in the elections 2024 from Dera Bugti in Balochistan.

“It is an honour to join the PPP. We are going to defeat the nationalistic politics which we are starting from Turbat,” he told the party’s workers convention in Turbat on December 18 where the PPP co-chairman and other leaders were also present.
