The long march led by the Sharif scions and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) President Fazal-ur-Rehman are slated to reach Islamabad today. The agenda of the Pakistan National Assembly states that a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan government will be tabled at 4 pm.
The opposition has the support of 163 members with PML-Q, the Balochistan Awami Party and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan. 17 members are still undecided and negotiating with both the sides. The number of treasury benches stands at 178 in a 342 member house.
If PM Khan loses the trust vote, then the next largest party, PML-N, forms the government. But if he recommends dissolution of House and fresh elections before the motion is tabled, then neither he nor Shehbaz Sharif can be in power.
