Pakistan P’ment dissolved to hold election without ex-PM Imran Khan

Pakistan's Parliament has been dissolved on the advice of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, leading to a national election without the participation of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is jailed and barred from politics. 

 

 

President Arif Alvi ordered the dissolution of the National Assembly, setting the stage for an interim government to oversee the next General Election within 90 days, likely by November. 

 

 

However, due to the need for constituency delimitations based on the latest census figures and other factors, the possibility of holding elections by 2023 still needs to be determined. 

 

 

Political turmoil, economic challenges, security concerns, and a crackdown on opposition parties marked Sharif's tenure.
