Pakistan President Alvi dissolves Parliament at PM Shehbaz Sharif’s advice

The Hindu  

Pakistan President Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly on August 9 at outgoing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s advice, marking an end to the current government’s tenure and paving the way for next general elections. Pakistan Prime Minister Sharif on Wednesday wrote to President Alvi and sought dissolution of the National Assembly three days before the end of its five-year constitutional term. President Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly at midnight on Wednesday at outgoing Prime Minister Sharif’s advice, the Dawn newspaper reported. In his farewell address at the National Assembly on Wednesday, Mr. Sharif said: “Tonight, with the permission of the House, I will send the advice for the dissolution of the National Assembly to the president.” The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz -led coalition government would have liked to remain in power for a couple of more days and dissolve Parliament on August 11 but it believes that President Alvi, a former leader of jailed former Prime Minister and cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, might refuse to issue a notification immediately for the dissolution.
