Asif Zardari, co-chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), held a discussion on potential solutions to avoid a defeat in the lower house of parliament in the event that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for a vote of confidence on Sunday.
On Sunday evening, Shujaat visited Zardari at Bilawal House.
Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said that he will ask Prime Minister Shehbaz for a vote of confidence, causing the leadership of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) to begin planning to prevent another setback following the Punjab Assembly loss.
Senior PML-Q and PPP leaders met for an hour to discuss current political conditions and potential strategies to avoid loss in the lower house in the event of a no-trust vote. Both leaders also spoke on the quickly shifting political landscape and the subject of the general election.
Both leaders emphasized that the nation was at a turning point due to economic difficulties, for which everyone would have to do their part in order to get the economy back on track.
