In a surprising move, Pakistan’s incumbent National Assembly faces dissolution four days ahead of its constitutionally mandated five-year term expiry. The current term is set to end at midnight on August 12, but both the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have reached a mutual agreement to dissolve the assembly on August 8.

The hot topic

The decision to dissolve the National Assembly ahead of schedule comes amid mounting political tensions and a desire for early elections to address critical issues facing the nation. PPP and PML-N, two major political forces, have opted for this unprecedented action to pave the way for a fresh electoral mandate, allowing the Pakistani people to exercise their democratic rights.
