Despite repeated efforts, the central PPP leadership has so far failed to bring unity among the factions.Sources said both factions refused to withdraw their support for their respective candidates, leading to a deadlock. The meeting concluded without a consensus on a single nominee for the top office.The PPP leadership, after failing to persuade the divided parliamentary party, has now decided to take the final decision on the AJK Prime Minister’s nomination itself, party sources added.It is expected that the central leadership will announce the name of the new Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Muzaffarabad in the coming days.
