“It will be difficult [for them] to make a comeback in politics,” he added.

“The public is with Imran Khan. The PTI ticket will be in top demand during the 2023 general elections. Inshallah, on one seat, there will be ten ticket seekers.”

جو عمران خان کو چھوڑے گا – اسکا اپنے حلقے سے جیتنا ناممکن ہو جائے گا – جیسے جاوید ہاشمی – سیاست میں پھر کم بیک کرنا مشکل ہو جائے گا – عوام عمران خان کے ساتھ ہے – 2023 کے جنرل الیکشن میں پی ٹی آئی کا ٹکٹ ٹاپ ڈیمانڈ ہو گا- انشاء اللہ- ایک ایک سیٹ پر دس دس ٹکٹ کے طلبگار ہوں گے

Pakistan Muslim League-Q leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has recently claimed that the opposition has the “more than required” lawmakers to pass the no-confidence motion against PM Imran in the National Assembly.

In an interview with a local news channel on Tuesday, he also warned there were “plenty of surprises in store.”

The PML-Q is an ally of the PTI government in Punjab. On the other hand, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – an alliance of the opposition parties, including PML-N, PPP, and JUI-F – seeks its votes to dislodge the government as the party has five NA seats.

Blaming the PTI government for its position, the PML-Q leader said it never learned how to build ties and instead “ruined things with everyone, including its own people.”

According to Elahi, the opposition had offered him Punjab’s chief ministership, but the government had yet to make that offer.
