PTI instructs lawmakers to attend the session

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members of the Nation Assembly (MNA) have walked out of the session to elect the new prime minister.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MNAs walked out of the National Assembly (NA) on Monday, boycotting the election for the country's new prime minister.
The move came after Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who was the party's candidate for the top slot, announced that PTI lawmakers would be resigning en masse from the NA.
Following that, the PML-N's Ayaz Sadiq replaced Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, who said his conscience did not allow him to conduct the session, as voting for the new premier began.
While speaking in the session, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that they have decided not to be part of the elections for leader of the house and were going to tender their resignation.
PTI’s Shah Mehmood Qureshi said taking part in this election will be akin to legitimizing the incoming government.
“Although I was the PTI candidate for the prime minister, I boycott the election,” he said.
