The senior leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) decided that Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi will take a vote of confidence ahead of Jan 11 — when the Lahore High Court will take up the case pertaining to his de-notification — to pave the way for Punjab Assembly’s dissolution.
In light of the probable vote of confidence, Punjab Assembly Speaker Sibtain Khan has already summoned the assembly session on Jan 11. Though PML-Q leader Moonis Elahi acknowledged that the chief minister could take a vote of confidence ahead of the next hearing, he added that it was also supposed to be decided whether the governor’s order directing the de-notification of CM Elahi was valid.
