Pakistan's parliament will be
dissolved on August 9 by Shehbaz Sharif.
On August 9,
three days before the current assembly's term is set to expire, Pakistani Prime
Minister Shehbaz Sharif will dissolve the legislature.
At a dinner
gathering held at the Prime Minister's House in honor of Pakistan's ruling
coalition, Shehbaz Sharif disclosed the information, according to Dawn.
According to
the report, because the National Assembly would be dissolved prematurely,
general elections must be held within 90 days.
According to the constitution, elections must be
held within 60 days after the assembly's term is over, although this time frame
is extended to 90 days in the event of an early dissolution, which would occur
in this case.
At the
reception, Shehbaz Sharif informed the attendees that the PML-N, which is
currently in power, has completed internal consultations. The premier will start
a last round of talks with allies on the caretaker set-up on Friday, a
procedure that is anticipated to take at least three days.
On Friday, a
Zoom conference with allies over the caretaker setup is also anticipated. The
source claimed that the prime minister and Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal
Bhutto-Zardari spoke at length on this matter on Thursday.
At the
reception, the prime minister updated his supporters on the coalition
government's performance and said that because more than 1.3 million new taxpayers
had joined the tax system, revenue collection had climbed by 13% over the
previous 15 months.
According to
PM Shehbaz, recovery rates in the power industry are still above 90%. However,
it should be emphasized that during the past 11 months, the circular debt
increased by 18%, or Rs393 billion.
Shehbaz
stated that the IT industry has made remarkable development over the past four
months and noted that the total amount of IT exhibits increased to $2.6 billion
over the previous fiscal year.
He expressed
disappointment that total foreign investment for the fiscal year 2022–2023
remained at $1.45 billion while expressing hope that additional foreign
investment would be attracted with the creation of the Special Investment
Facilitation Council (SIFC).
According to
the prime minister, the government has achieved 99% of its objectives with the
Rs 1.8 trillion Kissan Package. He said that comprehensive measures had been
developed for the well-being of the people and that the administration had
prevented the nation from going into default.
