ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has claimed that seven members from the treasury benches will not vote in favor of the 26th constitutional amendments, for which the government is trying every possible step to achieve a two-thirds majority.
To pass the much-talked constitutional amendments, the government requires a two-thirds majority in parliament, with sources indicating a govt short with 13 votes in the National Assembly and nine in the Senate.
The Special Committee of the parliament met again today to discuss the draft of the proposed constitutional amendments before the national assembly session summoned to meet today.
Taking to a private channel, Barrister Gohar said “The govt’s numbers are only complete in their books,” adding that the reliable sources informed him that the seven government lawmakers have decided to vote against the constitutional package in parliament.
Earlier, PTI sought additional time to present its own draft of constitutional amendments on Wednesday, which is expected to be submitted today.
