AISLAMABAD: PMLN Senator Irfan Siddiqui, widely believed to be a close confidant of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, said Wednesday he believes Senator Ishaq Dar will eventually be part of the federal cabinet as finance minister.
Responding to a query by The News if Dar would be the next finance minister in the Shehbaz Sharif-led government, Senator Siddiqui said Dar will retire from the Senate in March 2024 and most likely he will be elected again to the Upper House.
Senator Siddiqui said that since the Pakistan Peoples Party will get Chairman Senate’s slot, the idea of Dar being
elected as chairman Senate is out of the question.
Ultimately, his place would be in the federal cabinet and, most probably, he would be the finance minister, Senator Irfan Siddiqui added.—Fakhar Durrani
