The PML-N has announced its support for the PPP in the no-confidence motion. Speaking to the media, Rana Sanaullah said that the PML-N will not be part of the future AJK government, adding that the parliamentary party has declared that it no longer has confidence in the current government of Azad Kashmir.

Speaking on the occasion, PPP leader Qamar Zaman Kaira said that the PML-N has decided to remain in opposition in Azad Kashmir.

On the other hand, deliberations have begun on the name of potential new Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir, and detailed consultations have taken place regarding the political situation.
