Pakistan's caretaker prime minister stands down
Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain announced his resignation today after just two months in office, as part of an orchestrated power transfer that will see the finance minister take his place by the end of the week.
“I am thankful to the nation and the parliament. Shaukat Aziz will take office as elected prime minister in a few days,” Hussain, 59, told the National Assembly.
