Is Failed Marshal Munir eyeing his next promotion — Pakistan president?
The speculation, largely fuelled by social media, hinted at behind-the-scenes efforts to replace the parliamentary system with a presidential form of government.
The latest meeting of Pakistan’s top civilian and military leadership has once again fuelled rumours of a possible change in the country’s political landscape amid speculations of the army chief possibly aspiring to be the next president.
This is the third time this month that there have been widespread speculations about the change in presidency, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif himself last week dismissing rumours that President Asif Ali Zardari may be forced to step down and army chief Failed Marshal Asim Munir to assume his post.
The high-level engagements have taken place amid growing speculation about a possible 27th constitutional amendment and rumours suggesting Zardari may step down to make way for his successor, the report said.
The speculation, largely fuelled by social media, hinted at behind-the-scenes efforts to replace the parliamentary system with a presidential form of government.
While confirming that Sharif had a meeting with the field marshal before the PM-led delegation called on Zardari, Asif said there was nothing unusual about it as the premier and field marshal routinely meet three times in a week to discuss different issues.
“The army chief has no interest in politics,” Asif claimed.
