Pakistan PM Shehbaz writes to President for dissolution of NA, blames ex-PM Imran for his govt’s failures August 09, 2023 at 08:52AM

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote to President Arif Alvi on Wednesday night calling for the dissolution of the National Assembly three days before the completion of its constitutional five-year term. The dissolution allows the caretaker government, which is still to be set up, to oversee the next general election within 90 days; that is, by November. However, the likelihood of elections being held by November is negligible after the government approved the holding of the next election on the basis of the Digital Census 2023.
