No-Confidence Motion Succeeds Against 4 PTI-Backed Punjab Assembly Committee Heads

The no-confidence motion against the chairpersons of four opposition-led standing committees in the Punjab Assembly has succeeded, leading to the ouster of all four Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed lawmakers from key posts.

According to Geo News, those removed include:

·       Ansar Iqbal, Chairman of the Literacy Committee

·       Saima Kanwal, Chairperson of the Special Education Committee

·       Ahsan Ali, Chairman of the Colonies Committee

·       Rai Murtaza, Chairman of the Management and Professional Development Committee

All four lawmakers are affiliated with the PTI, the main opposition party in the Punjab Assembly.

⚖️ Political Fallout and Next Steps

Sources within the Assembly Secretariat confirmed that notices for removal have been formally issued, and elections will soon be held to appoint new chairpersons for the vacated positions.

Additionally, insiders reveal that no-confidence motions have also been submitted against two more opposition committee chairmen, with speculation that similar motions could target the remaining seven opposition-led standing committees.

🗳️ References to ECP Expected

In a further escalation, sources suggest that references against several opposition members may be sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) ahead of the next assembly session. The nature of these references has not yet been publicly disclosed.

This political development comes amid increasing tensions between the opposition and ruling coalition in Punjab, where the PML-N-led government has been actively consolidating power and seeking to undermine the PTI’s parliamentary influence.

Observers view the move as part of a broader strategy to marginalize the opposition’s institutional foothold in the provincial legislature.
