READ: DEPUTY SPEAKER SAYS WILL CHAIR PA SESSION DESPITE NO-TRUST MOVE

Earlier in the day, the Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Sardar Dost Muhammad Mazari has summoned the Punjab Assembly session today at 7:30 pm to elect the new chief minister of the province.

Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi is a joint candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) while the joint opposition has fielded PML-N Vice President Hamza Shahbaz for the coveted seat.

On the other hand, the joint opposition decided to move a no-confidence motion against Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.

The political crisis in Punjab took a new turn after the ruling PTI moved a no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari as he decided to summon a session today, instead of April 16.

The PTI MPAs submitted a no-trust move against their party-backed deputy speaker to the secretary of the provincial assembly.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to challenge no-trust motion against Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
