As Pakistan’s political heat intensifies, netizens believe that Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will join the PTI government against the Opposition. The speculations come as PTI gears up for its rally at D-Chowk in Islamabad.
PTI is currently preparing to stage a one-million strong rally at Islamabad’s D-Chowk. A record number of people will gather at D-Chowk to express their unwavering confidence in their leader.
As a result, PTI members are also dropping hints that PM Khan will make a major announcement at the rally. For instance, PTI Senator Faisal said PM Khan will make a historic announcement at the rally and explain the plan of action after the failure of the opposition’s no-confidence motion. Furthermore, PM Khan has also claimed during his rallies that the no-trust move will fail.

Therefore, there are speculations that there will be a new twist in Pakistani politics that will foil the Opposition’s plans. Netizens believe that perhaps someone from the Opposition will join the PTI camp. According to netizens, Chaudhry Nisar will join PTI.
To clarify, Chaudhry Nisar is a PML-N dissident and former interior minister of Pakistan. He parted ways with PML-N to run for the 2018 general election as an independent candidate. He has also been very critical of the Sharif family.
Furthermore, Nisar had been elected from Punjab Assembly’s constituency PP-10 in the 2018 general elections as an independent candidate. However, he refrained from taking oath then, as he alleged that rigging cost him the National Assembly’s NA-59 seat. However, in 2021, he took the Punjab Assembly after nearly three years.

Both the Opposition and the PTI ruling government are involved in an intense number game. According to the latest details, the PTI government has 179 MNAs in its favor. Meanwhile, the Opposition has 162 MNAs in the lower house of parliament. The Opposition needs the backing of ten more MNAs to dislodge the Imran Khan government.
Opposition lawmakers shared that the PML-N bagged the support of 16 PTI members in exchange for giving them its party tickets in the next elections.
Similarly, the PPP managed to win over four MNAs. While the JUI-F received assurance of support from three MNAs, bringing the total to 23. This of course is more than the required number. Meanwhile, the government remains confident that the no-trust move will fail.
