Efforts to oust the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir have entered their final phase, with the no-confidence vote set to take place tomorrow.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) appears to have gained further momentum as another member of the forward bloc extended support to its candidate, Faisal Mumtaz Rathore.
Diwan Chughtai, Minister for Education in Anwarul Haq’s cabinet, also announced his support for the PPP. His decision came after meeting PPP leader Faryal Talpur, during which he confirmed that he would back the party in the upcoming vote. With this latest development, the PPP now commands the support of 37 members of the Legislative Assembly.
According to sources close to Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq, he intends to contest the no-confidence motion rather than step aside. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the Muslim Conference, and the Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Party have decided to remain neutral in the no-confidence process.
The political atmosphere in Azad Kashmir remains highly charged as both sides prepare for a decisive vote expected to determine the region’s next political leadership.
