Senior analysts often move between networks as channels adjust their political positioning or prime-time lineups.

He has also held key public offices, serving as Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board in three terms, and as caretaker Federal Minister and Chief Minister of Punjab. He founded and serves as editor-in-chief of The Friday Times, one of Pakistan’s longest-running independent political weeklies.
