Opposition Leader Omar Ayub and Senator Shibli Faraz will lead the parliamentary team. 

A think tank will be formed under the leadership of Raoof Hasan who will oversee the issuance of a white paper on government performance and electoral matters. 

Sources indicated that notifications of these decisions would be issued after a party rally.
