Rumors are that Sharif clan and Big B wants Gen Azhar as next COAS. Apparently he very much supports ouster of IK.

Mr 10% Zadari ? - he can go back to skimming 10% ( + new premium on top ) off all defence deals like the old days.. you know "old pakistan is back!!!".

That's why he won't be made chief by PML-N, they never go for the obvious choice! ;)
Last time Nawazoo thought out of the box, He put Musharraf in charge thinking an Urdu speaking General on top won't sit well with Punjabi/Pathan General Staff. Did not work out well for him. If Showbaaz is really in charge instead of Nawaz pulling the strings, he will rubber stamp whomever GHQ (Bajwa) picks.

The Generals don't become overnight. Most start as just foot soldiers with the ambition to defend the country and that is how they spend most of their career.
If and only if there are any bad apples amongst them, it gives no right to anyone to point fingers at the uniform.
However Judiciary has never delivered or redeemed it's self. Cases against SS are pending for years yet when it's in own interest, it functions on Sundays and sits down at midnight. I for one surely hope that people out on the streets turn their attention to these sold out souls.

Who will be Pakistan’s next Army Chief and Joint Chief of the military​


January 27, 2022

General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Pakistan’s Army head, and Joint Chief General Nadeem Raza is set to retire in November. Imran Khan’s PTI-led government will have to choose the next Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC). While the Pandits have begun discussing the future of the country’s most powerful seat after Prime Minister Khan stated that he has not yet decided on any extension for General Bajwa.
The possible looking at the existing Corp Commanders can help us see some of the seniors and prospective contenders for the positions of COAS and CJCSC.

He was also the Chief of Staff to then-Corps Commander Rawalpindi, General Bajwa, who is currently the COAS. Only three XI Corp Commanders have ever been promoted to four-star general rank: General Sawar Khan, General Mirza Aslam Baig, and General Ahsan-ul-Haq. Gen. Faiz as DG ISI remained in limelight.

He also visited Kabul soon after the Afghan Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan. Many circles are talking about the positioning of Gen. Faiz as possible next COAS. However, only the exact time will decide the future command of the Pakistan Army.

He has also served as Inspector-General of the Frontier Corps, Brigadier Commander Waziristan, and Kurram Agency. Anjum also served as Corp Commander of V Corps at Karachi.

The Army contenders for the future COAS are promoted by name through the outgoing Chief of Army Staff, from whom the Prime Minister selects the new COAS and CJCSC, according to protocol. Now it’s up to Prime Minister Imran Khan to decide whether to stick to the seniority list or choose any senior official from the list who meets his criteria.
Why this regime change happened?
Because general bajwa stays. No matter how much he denies but mulk ke wasi ter mufad main extension phr se mila gi
 
.
May be General Nawaz Sharif
And General Shahbaz Sharif would be the most suitable candidates for both the posts 😜🤣

People would forget all Generals after that 😂
