ISLAMABAD: No candidate has been shortlisted to lead the country’s caretaker setup, said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday, as the incumbent government plans to dissolve the National Assembly three days before the end of its constitutional tenure.

The prime minister made the statement in response to a question during an interview with a local news channel. He confirmed that a consultation process was ongoing among the top leaders of all coalition partners and assured it was going to be a “collective decision.”
