Chief Ministership

He was nominated by the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf after they rejected their own previous nominee Nasir Mahmood Khosa on whom government of Shehbaz Sharif was in agreement.[6] Consensus on Rizvi could not be reached between government and opposition and the matter was decided by Election Commission of Pakistan. Pakistan Muslim League (N) is critical of this selection as according to them Rizvi has been very critical of their party's government.
