Overview
- PPP, PML-N and allied forward-bloc members coordinated the move and ordered legislators to Muzaffarabad as signatures were readied for submission.
- The PPP says it has backing from more than 30 lawmakers, with one report citing over 36, against a simple majority threshold of 27.
- One PTI member, Mohammad Iqbal, is abroad in the UK and is not expected to participate in any vote.
- If the motion is lodged, the assembly is expected to meet within three to seven days to table it, with a new leader to be elected if it passes.
- The motion names potential replacements from the PPP, including Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin, Chaudhry Latif Akbar and Faisal Rathore, as opponents cite governance concerns after deadly protests during Anwarul Haq’s tenure.
