Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, is contemplating an expansion of the provincial cabinet.
Sources reveal that former Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Rana Iqbal, along with 4 to 5 other members, are likely candidates for inclusion.
Additionally, two individuals from South Punjab are expected to join the cabinet.
Names under consideration reportedly include Mansha Ullah Butt and Sultan Haider Ali Khan.
The final decision on the cabinet expansion will be made after consulting with Nawaz Sharif, leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Currently, the Punjab cabinet comprises one senior minister, 17 ministers, one advisor, and two special assistants, totaling 21 members.
