Mehmood to be new Punjab Governor

LAHORE: The PPP has nominated its leader Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood as Punjab governor, sources said Friday, as the coalition government’s cabinet in the Centre will reportedly be finalised this week.
Sources further said that the PPP leadership has informed Mehmood — who has experience being Punjab’s governor previously — of the decision. Mehmood, who was earlier part of PML-F, decided to part ways with the party after then-president Asif Ali Zardari appointed him as Punjab governor in December 2012 — and he served till June 2013. –Agencies
