Opposition agree to nominate PML-Q's Pervez Elahi as CM Punjab

The joint opposition has agreed to nominate Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi as chief minister Punjab.

According to the Geo News, the opposition parties have agreed to make Pervaiz Elahi the chief minister after the success of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Former President Asif Ali Zardari has convinced former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to hand over the CM Punjab's slot to Elahi.

According to the details Zardari has held detailed consultations with PDM chief Fazlur Rehman and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in this regard.

Zardari had threatened not to support the no-confidence motion against the premier if the PML-N did not agree for nominating Elahi as CM Punjab.

PPP has given assurance to PML-Q and a senior leader of PPP has conveyed the message of party leadership.

Rehman and Zardari have also assured Nawaz that PML-Q will not take any action against PML-N in Punjab.

Meanwhile, PML-Q leadership has summoned a last meeting to choose between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and opposition.

On the other hand, PTI-led government claimed that it still enjoys full support of the allies and they will side with Imran Khan on the matter of no-trust motion.
