Share:The political contest between the PTI and the PDM took another turn this week as days before the planned dissolution of assemblies in KP and Punjab, a no-confidence motion was submitted against Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi in the Punjab Assembly (PA). As per the constitution, if a minimum of twenty percent of the total members move a no-confidence motion, it will have to be voted upon. Thus far, around 150 members have signed the motion with more members expected to join from outside of Lahore. This is being done to cover all the exits as it will strip the speaker of the power to dissolve the assembly. Some reports also suggest that other strategies are also being considered, such as Chaudhry Shujaat using his influence to bar MPAs from voting in favour of the CM in the no-confidence motion.
