Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Friday that the federal government had removed Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar from his post.
The announcement came hours before crucial sessions of the National and Punjab Assembly on the no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Imran Khan and outgoing Chief Minister Usman Buzdar.
The minister said that the new governor would be announced later. "According to the Constitution, the deputy speaker [of the Punjab Assembly] will be the acting governor," he said.
