Meanwhile, the Pakistan National Assembly is all set to elect a new prime minister for the country after Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf vice chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday filed their nomination papers, Dawn reported on Monday.

According to media reports, Sharif has the strong possibility of becoming the next PM of Pakistan.

However, the PTI is still divided over its erstwhile decision of en masse resignations by its lawmakers.

While the cabinet division de-notified 52 members of the federal cabinet — 25 federal ministers, four ministers of state, four advisers to the PM and 19 special assistants to the PM — after the historic vote of no-confidence by the joint opposition against ex-premier Imran Khan, Shehbaz Sharif ,who has the best chance to make it to the top slot, said the new cabinet would be formed only after consultation with all allies.

The PTI core committee remained indecisive in a meeting chaired by Imran Khan on Sunday whether to go for en masse resignations of MNAs or not.
