Peshawar: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly session on Sunday faced delays as the members of the opposition began to arrive while the assistance of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) remains thin.
Until now, only a legislator of PTI, Abdul Salam, has arrived at the facilities of the Assembly, the sources said.
According to the lack of quorum, there is the possibility that the session was postponed shortly after the beginning due to the lack of quorum. If they are postponed, the sworn ceremony of 25 newly elected members in reserved seats would be postponed.
In statements to the media, the opposition leader in the KP Assembly, Dr. Ibadullah, said: “If a quorum is noted during the session, we have options.”
“The oath taking must take place. If not, this is PTI and we can expect something of it,” he added.
He argued that a mutual understanding between the opposition and the government in the Senate elections scheduled for Monday had already been reached.
In the midst of uncertainty, KP Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has called an urgent meeting of the PTI Parliamentary Party.
A party spokesman confirmed that PTI legislators had been ordered not to enter the Assembly Hall at the moment.
“The parliamentary party will make an important decision at today’s meeting,” added the spokesman.
