Imran thanked the two provincial chiefs for their help with his party, and said that he consulted PTI’s lawyers about the move, adding that the Constitution not allow elections to delayed away from 90 days of an assembly’s dissolution.
“Then we will prepare for elections after that and our around 130 seats in the National Assembly, we will go to the NA speaker and demand him to accept our resignations instead of picking a few,” Imran elaborated on the PTI’s plan of action after dissolving the assemblies.
Imran started his address by lashing out at the recent economic situation of the country and contrasted that with his government’s performance.
“My question today is, who was responsible for this regime change?” he said, referring to his government’s ouster via a no-confidence motion earlier this year.

“In this country, until free and fair elections don’t take place […] fears will still remain that the country might sink.”
