[Kabira]

The PML-N has decided upon members of the incoming cabinet under incumbent Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, sources in PM House told DawnNews on Friday.

The new federal cabinet is expected to consist of 46 ministers and state ministers, the sources said.

The cabinet will reportedly take oath on Friday morning, the sources added, naming a few of the appointments which have apparently been decided on by the party.

List of appointments shared with DawnNews:

• Khurram Dastagir: defence minister
• Ahsan Iqbal: interior minister
• Khawaja Asif: foreign minister
• Ishaq Dar: finance minister
• Saira Afzal Tarar: health minister
• Marriyum Aurangzeb: information minister
• Darshan Laal: interprovincial coordination minister
• Balighur Rehman: religious affairs minister
• Saad Rafique: railways minister

Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar has been left out of Abbasi's cabinet.

PML-N leaders Talal Chaudhry and Daniyal Aziz are expected to be appointed ministers of state, the sources said.

The latest development comes hours after the PML-N's top brass held two back-to-back consultative meetings at Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif's Donga Gali residence today.

The party has been deliberating over membership of the new cabinet over the past few days, as well as its contender for the upcoming NA-120 by-poll for the seat left vacant by ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

There it is your foreign minister, un aram hai? Now all out problems will be solved according to potis.

Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAFRON) shifted from Abdul Qadir Baloch to Ghalib Khan Wazir of Waziristan. He is PML-N MNA from FATA.

Khawaja Asif threatened Israel with war over fake news, and Ishaq Dar is slowly destroying the economy with mismanagement and debt; why would they be given the foreign ministry and finance? Also dont know why Ahsan Iqbal was moved from planning since they just announced the vision 2025 plan.

This cabinet makes little sense, although I suppose it is just placeholder until the Sharif dynasty makes a comeback.

I doubt they will change cabinet till next election if they win.
