On Wednesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that he would announce the date for the dissolution of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) assemblies during a public rally at Liberty Chowk on December 17.
While addressing the party workers and his supporters through video link, the former prime minister said that he had completed the consultation process with the PTI leadership and lawmakers. On December 17, he will announce the date of dissolving the provincial assemblies and resigning from the National Assembly.
“Moreover, 125 PTI MNAs, whose resignations were not accepted, will also appear before the Speaker to ask him to accept their resignations,” he added.
He pointed out that after the PTI exits from the assemblies, 70 per cent of the seats will lay vacant, automatically leading to the elections. “As per the Constitution, elections should be held within 90 days of the assemblies’ dissolution. Hence, after the announcement of the date, we will go into election mode,” he added.
