The voting on much-awaited no-confidence motion against Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq will be held today (Monday) in the AJK Legislative Assembly. The AJK Legislative Assembly secretariat has issued the agenda in this regard.
Meanwhile, Faisal Mumtaz Rathore, PPP nominee for the top slot, has secured the support of two additional members from the forward bloc. AJK Minister for Education Diwan Chughtai has announced his support for the PPP after meeting Faryal Talpur.
Moreover, another cabinet member Professor Taqadas Gillani has also withdrawn her support for Anwarul Haq.
Taqadas Gillani was elected on a reserved seat for women. With the latest developments, the PPP now enjoys the backing of 38 members of the Legislative Assembly.

PTI, the Muslim Conference, and the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Party are expected to remain neutral during the vote.
