Talk:Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

Term start
today Abbasi has been named as the interim Prime Minister but he is yet to get a vote of confidence from the lower house of Pakistani Parliament before he is sworn in. Most likely he will sworn in next week therefore term not started yet. --Saqib (talk) 12:33, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * please add this with sources. After, maybe there are no confidence vote for acting prime minister or it is only symbolic. --Panam2014 (talk) 12:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Source is cited. See 4th source (The Hindu). --Saqib (talk) 12:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * And who will exercise power in the meantime, knowing that Abbasi is himself an interim? If not, what will happen during the next 45 days? --Panam2014 (talk) 12:45, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually Abbas will take over as interim prime minister from next week and would serve for 45 days only. Shehbaz Sharif is the actual successor but he will be first elect to the lower house of parliament, and then sworn in as Prime Minister. I think within next 2 months during which Abbasi will exercise power. I hope this clears? --Saqib (talk) 12:50, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * But legally, Abassi is interim or the sources say that because within the party, they agree that he does not stay long in office? For the rest, the position will remain vacant for another week? --Panam2014 (talk) 13:00, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Acting, interim or permanent PK
It seems to me that legally, it is neither "acting" nor "interim" PM. Indeed, its mode of designation is regular and the PPP will even propose an opposition candidate to face him in two days. The fact that it will remain that 45 days in power is linked to a device combine. Thus, when Sharif is elected, he will present his resignation. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:16, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Most sources agree that he is an interim PM. This fact is not even disputed. He is only intended to be a placeholder who will effectively fill in the post, until Shehbaz Sharif contests elections from Nawaz Sharif's vacated constituency, wins (predictably) and is elected PM by the National Assembly. All in all, it will take 40 to 50 days. Until then, Abbasi is simply an interim or acting PM.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 13:37, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No, it does not mean anything. Only the constitutional aspect counts. This is proved by the fact that if by a miracle, he fails to get elected, the PPP candidate will remain well over 45 days in power. So he is not acting. --Panam2014 (talk) 15:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think I can agree.. there’s no such thing as an “interim” Prime Minister in our constitution. Abbasi is being installed by the members of lower house and would have full powers. The reason why news media referring the term "interim PM" for Abbasi is because Nawaz Sharif proposed as such. Incase if Shehbaz Sharif fails to secure National Assembly seat, obviously Abbasi will have to remain as Prime Minister. --Saqib (talk) 19:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Minister for Defence Production
Since last year there is a mention on this bio that Abbasi held the cabinbet protoflio of Defence Production in PML (N)-PPP led coalition government in 2008, based on  DAWN news story dated March 2008. But last week when I looked at the official website of Ministry for Defence Production, it doesn't verified the claim. On the contrary the website notes Rana Tanveer Hussain, who held the portfolio from March to May 2008. And then I found some DAWN news stories dated May 2008 which also notes Rana Tanveer Hussain as Minister for Defence Production and Abbasi only held the portfolio of Commerce.

Following the announcement of Abbasi as interim Prime Minister, several news publication emerged claiming that Abbasi held the Defence Production portfolio in 2008. But because the Defence Production portfolio was mentioned on this bio since last year, this seems dubious to me and apparently news publication took the claims from this bio. So what to do with this? --Saqib (talk) 14:51, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * If it is erroneous information, as you noted above, then it should be corrected (assuming if it hasn't yet).  Mar4d  ( talk ) 15:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It has been removed from the bio's infobox, but I have left it in the "political career" section but marked it dubious. --Saqib (talk) 15:02, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I removed this untrue claim, despite now we have plenty of RS to backup it. --Saqib (talk) 08:46, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

18th, or 24th?
Is Abbasi 18th Prime Minister, as most news media reporting, or 19th as mentioned in this table or 24th as claimed on this bio? --Saqib (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * While Radio Pakistan claiming him as 28th Prime Minister. --Saqib (talk) 15:50, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * lets discuss before you add 14th? --Saqib (talk) 10:35, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Care to discuss here before making changes? --Saqib (talk) 14:50, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I apologize, I did not see the talk page. It should be changed to 18th, excluding the care takers and giving a neutral number to those who held office more than once Jibran1998 (talk) 14:57, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Make sense. I was thinking the same. Feel free to revert my edit. --Saqib (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It would be better if we can source the numbering to reliable sources than going with our own ideas. How does reliable sources describe him?  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 15:09, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Minister for Energy
Initially it was reported that Abbasi will head the newly created Ministry of Energy which has two divisions (petroleum and power) however a few months later Awais Leghari was appointed as Minister for Power division (as Minister in charge) so assuming Abbasi does not holds the portfolio of Minister for Energy alone, and is minister for petroleum division, I have made some changes to the infobox today and replaced Minister for Energy with Minister incharge of petroleum division. Meanwhile Abbasi in his capacity as PM is minister in-charge of various other divisions such as cabinet, establishment et cetera so I am curios should we get rid of slots in the infobox pertaining to minister in charge because it doesn't make sense to add all of them but I am not sure about Petroleum division. what do you guys think ? --Saqib (talk) 14:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * hi, I think we should remove minister for Energy from the infobox as successor of Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources. --Panam2014 (talk) 21:42, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It's already removed . --Saqib (talk) 13:26, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * no. "Preceded by 	Asim Hussain

Succeeded by 	Himself (Energy)" --Panam2014 (talk) 17:56, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * What should "Himself (Energy)" be replaced with? --Saqib (talk) 18:09, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Himself (petroleum division) and Leghari (power). --Panam2014 (talk) 18:14, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * OK. Made the changes. --Saqib (talk) 18:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

I feel...
...we should trim down the "Policies and initiatives" section to only include major things. What's your take on it ? --Saqib (talk) 14:38, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I think we can cut it down to only include real achievements instead of each and every directive without an end result. We can also include the projects he started but could not complete due to lack of time so if they get completed during a future government, folks should know at least who actually started them!

 * Right. Would you take a plunge here? I will certainly join in. --Saqib (talk) 15:02, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't have bandwidth at this point, maybe later most probably after the elections sometime if I have to do it! ☺ Sheriff &#124; ☎ 911 &#124; 15:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
