The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has disclosed that Faisal Karim Kundi and Sardar Salim Haider are likely to be appointed as Governors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab, respectively, according to sources familiar with the matter on Friday.

The PPP has finalized its nominees for these significant positions, and the announcements of their appointments are expected imminently.

Sources have also confirmed that party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has endorsed Sardar Salim Haider’s nomination for the Governorship of Punjab. It is anticipated that the federal government will issue the official appointment notification for Sardar Salim Haider on Friday.

Sardar Salim Haider, a former Member of the National Assembly elected from Attock on the PPP ticket in 2008, has previously served as the Foreign Minister in the cabinets of Prime Ministers Yousuf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf.

Likewise, Faisal Karim Kundi is expected to assume the role of Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Kundi, who served as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly from 2008 to 2013, also held the position of Adviser to the Prime Minister in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government.

It’s noteworthy that the decision to appoint governors from the PPP for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab was part of an agreement between the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in their power-sharing arrangement preceding the formation of the federal government.
