Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, a media magnate, was named caretaker chief minister of Punjab by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Sunday after the province's ruling party and the opposition were unable to agree on a candidate for the job.

In addition to the ECP secretary, special secretary, and director general of law, Naqvi's name was approved at a meeting of the ECP presided over by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja.

Following the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly, the opposition leader Hamza Shehbaz recommended the names of Ahad Cheema and Mohsin Naqvi, while the former chief minister Parvez Elahi proposed Ahmed Nawaz Sukhira and Naveed Akram Cheema.

The ECP discussed the four nominations during the meeting. According to Daily News sources, the ECP secretary presented the four applicants' profiles and professional service information during the meeting. The ECP ultimately chose to appoint Naqvi as chief minister.
