ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPs will tender their resignations on Monday (tomorrow) if the party’s reservations on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif’s candidature as the prime minister are not addressed, party spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said.
The decision was taken in a meeting of the central executive committee (CEC) of the party, presided over by chairman Imran Khan, to chalk out the future strategy.
Chaudhry said the committee recommended to Khan the party should resign from the assemblies starting with the National Assembly. “If our objections on Sharif’s nomination are not addressed then we will resign tomorrow,” he said.
Defending the decision to nominate the party’s vice chairman, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, for the office of prime minister after the vote of no-confidence, Chaudhry said that contesting the election offered the party a way to challenge Sharif.
