LAHORE: (HRNW) The Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) opposition alliance is considering different strategies regarding the vote of confidence by Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
Punjab Assembly witnessed a noisy session on Tuesday as PML-N members attempted to enter the building. The session has been summoned on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 3 PM regarding the vote of confidence.
Ahead of the crucial session, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari is expected to arrive in Lahore to devise a strategy regarding the vote.
He is expected to meet PML-N leaders in the provincial capital to regain control of the assembly. Sources revealed the PDM may employ any means necessary for political gains.
Zardari will meet federal ministers and finalise a strategy to convince disgruntled PTI lawmakers to abstain from voting. The party has already started backdoor channels to woo PML-Q and PML-N MPAs to abstain or stay away on the day of voting.
In return, the opposition alliance will offer party tickets to candidates for the next elections, sources added. The PDM has been targeting minority and female members of the provincial assembly.
