LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Feb 23rd, 2022) The opposition parties’ leaders on Wednesday agreed to nominate PML-N President and Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif as the next prime minister if they successfully could move no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
It was decided in a meeting of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Shehbaz Sharif, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and leadership of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) that was held in Model Town.

On Tuesday, the opposition leaders failed to make any strategy for no-trust-motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
However, on Wednesday, the opposition leaders agreed to give task of no-trust-move to former president Asif Ali Zardari. Zardari was also given the task to settle matters with the coalition partners of the ruling PTI.
Earlier, opposition parties expressed satisfaction over the progress made over the no-confidence motion; however the date for tabling the motion would be decided by the central leadership.
