Moeen Qureshi; Care Taker Prime Minister

Moeenuddin Ahmad Qureshi, usually referred to as Moeen Qureshi, (born 1930) is a Pakistani economist and political figure. A former Vice President of the World Bank, he was the acting Prime Minister of Pakistan from July 18, 1993 until 19 October, 1993. The continuing political crisis of 1993 in Pakistan came to an abrupt halt when the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Ghulam Ishaq Khan both resigned after two weeks of intense negotiations among the Nawaz Sharif government, Benazir Bhutto, and the army. The resolution of the crisis was unique because for the first time in the nation's history a government had voluntarily stepped down in order to avoid a possible military intervention. Interestingly, the negotiations had been mediated by General Wahid Kakar, the Army Cheif of Staff. The resultant agreement and its implementation followed strict constitutional procedure. Ghulam Ishaq Khan was replaced by the chairman of the Senate,Wasim Sajjad, who functioned as Acting President until the elections. More important, Moeen Qureshi, a former civil servant and senior World Bank official, agreed to serve as caretaker Prime Minister. Qureshi, a Pakistani national, had left the World Bank in 1992, obtained permanent residence status in the United States, and established his own company, Emerging Markets Corporation .
