LAHORE: Senator Malik Rafique Rajwana was named as the Governor of Punjab on Thursday. His appointment was finalised by President Mamnoon Hussain, following which Rajwana said he would do his utmost to serve the people of the province.
Rajwana, who hails from Multan, had been serving as a senator on a Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) ticket.
The appointment came following the prime minister’s approval with Rajwana meeting the premier shortly before the announcement.
The position of Punjab Governor had been lying vacant since the resignation of Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar in January this year.
Sarwar had cited his failure to achieve certain goals he had set for himself while assuming the office as the reason for his decision to resign.
