National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on Friday accepted the resignations of a further 35 Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MNAs, just days after accepting the resignations of nearly three dozen of the party’s lawmakers.
The PTI had resigned en masse from the lower house of parliament following the ouster of PTI chief Imran Khan in April last year.
Subsequently, NA speaker Ashraf had accepted only 11 of the resignations, stating that the remaining lawmakers would be summoned individually for verification. After stalling the process for eight months, Ashraf on Tuesday, accepted the resignations of 34 more PTI MNAs and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid as the party hinted it would “test” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif with a confidence vote.
