Who is the Chairperson of PERA?

The correct answer is Chief Minister Punjab. The Chief Minister, as the highest executive authority of the province, typically chairs significant provincial bodies like PERA. This ensures high-level political oversight, strategic direction, and alignment with the provincial government's broader policy agenda for effective governance and enforcement.

• The Chief Secretary is a senior administrative officer but usually not the chairperson of such a high-profile regulatory body.
• The Governor Punjab is the constitutional head of the province, but executive bodies are typically chaired by the Chief Minister.
• The Minister of Law holds a specific portfolio, but the overall head of the provincial government usually chairs the main regulatory authority.
