How will a word from Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain effect the polling game? The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has recently held that assembly members are bound to vote according to the party line issued by the party chief – failing which their vote will be nullified.
Geo’s Hamid Mir is reporting Chaudhry Shujaat has already a letter to Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari, although the deputy speaker’s office is not confirming any such report.
If Chaudhry Shujaat has indeed decided to back Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will lose the 10 votes of his PML-Q. This may give PML-N a better chance to have its candidate Hamza Shahbaz elected.
