After the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), the PML-Q has also decided to part ways with the PPP-led government. If Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani accepts resignations of the PML-Q ministers and the MQM and PML-Q members were allotted seats on the opposition benches, he will lose majority in the National Assembly.
Out of total 341 MNAs’ seats, the government will enjoy the support of 166 MNAs with PPP 127, ANP 13, PML-F 5 and BNP, NPP one each seat in the National Assembly and 19 independents.
On the other hand, the opposition would enjoy the support of 175 members. They included PML-N 91, PML-Q 50, MQM 25, JUI-F 8 and PPP-S 1.
If the prime minister fails to enjoy the support of the majority of MNAs, the National Assembly would choose new leader of the House.
