In a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Khursheed Shah on November 7, Shah had proposed two names for the post of CEC of which Pervez's name was one.
Speaking to Express News, Pervez said he was not aware if he was the strongest contender for the post of CEC.
He said that if he was approached for the position, he will give an answer after careful consideration.
Pervez was sworn in as Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) caretaker chief minister (CM) following the dissolution of the provincial assembly in March 2013.

Should I say congratulations or condolences on the latest news that you, Justice Pervez have been nominated jointly by the Govt. and the Opposition?
He is enthusiastic about being nominated for the post of CEC. Does he know the aftermath, and what kind of thanks he is going to receive at the end of the day?
@Zubair: That's really surprising to see an honest man and a Judge too in Pakistan. That being so how did he escape from IK's attention as a possible office holder in KPK?? They are looking for honest people. This needs some inquiry.
A honest and simple man...I have seen him traveling in a rikshaw when he was a judge of Peshwar highcourt
