The Punjab Assembly on Thursday passed a no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari with a majority vote two days after the election of PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz as the chief minister was annulled by the Supreme Court. The Punjab Assembly session, chaired by Nawabzada Waseem Khan Baduzai, accepted PTI MPA Raja Basharat request to present the resolution to remove the deputy speaker and elect a new speaker, reported Express News. The motion said that the post of speaker fell vacant due to the election of Chaudhry Pervez Elahi as the chief minister, “therefore this House wants to suspend Rule 11 (1) and 12 (3) of the Rules of Procedure and elect the Speaker”. ڈپٹی سپیکر کے خلاف تحریک عدم اعتماد پنجاب اسمبلی میں پیش، کل ووٹنگ ہوگی۔#ایک_نیازی_سب_پہ_بھاری pic.twitter.com/EJcUTwKrey — Muhammad Basharat Raja (@RajaBasharatLAW) July 28, 2022 The PTI nominated former provincial minister Sibtain Khan for the Punjab Assembly speaker’s post.

Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari rejected 10 Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) votes which paved the way for PML-N’s Hamza Shehbaz to retain the post of the provincial chief executive during the elections held on July 22 (Friday). Subsequently, the Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down his ruling on the election of Punjab chief minister, paving the way for PTI-PML-Q joint candidiate Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi to ascend to the throne in the country’s political heartland.
