Explanation

According to Article 244, the ECP steps in to appoint the Caretaker Prime Minister only when the Prime Minister and the Opposition cannot agree on a single candidate. Other scenarios, such as the Prime Minister's death or presidential permission, do not directly authorize the ECP to finalize the appointment.
