ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah has expressed the hope that consultations with the prime minister on the appointment of a caretaker government for holding the next general elections would start in a week or so.

Talking to reporters at the Parliament House on Wednesday, Mr Shah, however, said that so far no consultations had taken place on the issue of the caretaker set-up. Under the Constitution, consultation between the prime minister and the opposition leader is a must for appointment of a caretaker government to conduct the general elections in a fair and transparent manner.
