A tough contest is expected between the joint candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q), Pervaiz Elahi and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz\u2019s (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz today (Saturday).<br \/>\nThe deputy speaker of the Punjab Assembly summoned the meeting of the business advisory committee tomorrow. For the election of the Leader of the House under Article 130, 186 votes of the Members of the Provincial Assembly (MPAs) will be required for the winning candidate. The matter will be shifted to the run of the election if the candidate fails to get the required number of votes. Through the run of the election, the decision on electing the Punjab CM will be taken on the basis of lawmakers\u2019 opinions in the majority.<br \/>\nStrict security arrangements have been adopted for the Punjab Assembly session tomorrow ahead of the Punjab CM election.<br \/>\nThe deputy commissioner Lahore imposed Section 144 outside the Punjab Assembly building in a radius of 500 metres. The additional chief secretary of Punjab\u2019s home department issued a notification regarding the security arrangements. A day earlier, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had chaired the parliamentary party meeting of the coalition parties ahead of the Punjab chief minister (CM) election.<br \/>\nPervaiz Elahi had said that the nation is backing Imran Khan and the successful rallies made the political rivals panic. He said that they have always worked for the public welfare which will be prioritised in future as well. The Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) top leader had said that they will prove their majority in the Punjab Assembly on April 16 on the united front.<br \/>\nIn another development yesterday, it was learnt that a group of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPAs had contacted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Punjab leadership. PML-N MPAs had contacted PTI leadership and demanded assurance of a party ticket in the next election for supporting Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi. The PTI Punjab leadership had informed the party\u2019s central leadership about the contact by the PML-N lawmakers and their demands. Sources privy to the development further said that confirmation of the tickets to the PML-N lawmakers in the upcoming general elections will be given after the approval from the party\u2019s central command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE The preparations have been completed for the organisation of elections for the Punjab chief minister (CM) slot today in which a tough contest is expected between Pervaiz Elahi and Hamza Shehbaz.
