There are continuous reports from Pakistan that the government of PM Imran Khan can fall at any time. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party does not have an absolute majority. In such a situation, the party is running a coalition government. Now Pakistan’s Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid has told that the vote on the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan is likely to be held on April 3 or 4.
Sheikh Rashid wants to get elections soon?
Talking to the media in Islamabad, Rasheed has said that the opposition has actually helped Imran Khan by bringing a no-confidence motion. Imran Khan’s popularity has increased due to the no-confidence motion. Rashid has said that I have appealed to Imran Khan to conduct elections soon. He has clarified that the idea of early elections was his own opinion and should not be seen as the stand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Rashid called the opposition a fool
Terming the opposition as “foolish”, Rashid said his no-confidence motion has brought Prime Minister Imran Khan to a level of popularity where it is the right time to hold early elections. He further said that after presenting a splendid budget, I am demanding early elections because this incompetent opposition has made it easy for us to win again.

The National Assembly of Pakistan consists of 342 members. Mane Imran Khan would need 172 seats to remain in the government. Imran Khan currently has the support of 176 MPs. In this, Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has 155 members.
Imran Sarkar was nominated by Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P), 7 from Pakistan Muslim League-Qaida (PML-Q), 5 from Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), 3 from Grand Democratic Alliance and 1 from Awami Muslim League Pakistan. is supported. This makes the total number 176. One and two independent MPs of Jamhoori Watan Party have also supported Imran Khan from outside.
Imran government can come in such minority
In the case of withdrawal of support of 7 members of MQM-P and 5-5 members of PML-Q and BAP, the Imran government will be left with the support of only 159 MPs. With this, if 24 angry MPs of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf withdraw their support from the government, then the total number becomes 135. In such a situation, Imran Khan’s government will be reduced to a minority. In such a situation, after adding outside support, Imran Khan will be 34 seats away from the majority.
MQM-P, PML-Q and BAP are meeting continuously. In such a situation, it will soon be decided whether these parties will now support the Imran government or not. This will also make it clear whether the Imran government will complete its term or will fall before that. Let us inform that Imran Khan’s party came to power in 2018 and the next general election in Pakistan is to be held in October 2023.
