Earlier in the day, President Arif Alvi approved the dissolution of the National Assembly on the advice of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
According to Article 58, “The President shall dissolve the National Assembly if so advised by the prime minister; and the National Assembly shall, unless sooner dissolved, stand dissolved at the expiration of forty-eight hours after the prime minister has so advised.”

In a surprise move, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that he has advised President Arif Alvi to dissolve all the assemblies.
His brief public address was telecast shortly after a crucial National Assembly session that was set to vote on the no-confidence motion against him was abruptly adjourned as the deputy speaker deemed the no-trust vote “unconstitutional”.
