Sources confirmed that Khan is also expected to hold a mega rally ahead of the no-confidence motion, and around one million people are expected to attend.

As of now, the administration in Rawalpindi is silent on the whole issue as they know that if Khan survives the no-confidence motion, he will be in power for a short time as a new caretaker government will be formed a few months before the 2023 elections .

The no-confidence motion was signed by around 100 MPs from the PML-N and the People’s Party of Pakistan (PPP) and was submitted to the National Assembly Secretariat. Khan, 69, is heading a coalition government and may be ousted if some allies decide to switch parties.
