Overview
- AJK Law Minister Abdul Waheed said a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq will be presented in three to four days.
- PPP leaders say the party’s tally has risen to 27 after a PTI forward bloc joined, and a senior PPP official earlier claimed open support from 37 members.
- Party sources report hesitation among some recent defectors and uncertainty over the PPP’s nominee, which has slowed the formal tabling of the motion.
- Waheed contends PTI defectors are not subject to anti-defection penalties because PTI has not been registered in AJK for two years.
- Under AJK rules, a no-trust motion must include a named alternative for prime minister and, if not submitted, the sitting premier retains the power to advise dissolution of the assembly.
