Three major positions held by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the National Assembly have been withdrawn, as the posts of Opposition Leader, Parliamentary Leader, and Deputy Parliamentary Leader have officially been declared vacant.
The Speaker of the National Assembly is expected to issue a notification for the appointment of a new Opposition Leader soon.
PTI-backed independent members will also be required to submit fresh nominations for the roles of Parliamentary Leader and Deputy Parliamentary Leader.
Additionally, PTI leader Omar Ayub has been delisted from both the Public Accounts Committee and the Finance Committee following his disqualification.
The disqualified status of seven PTI lawmakers has resulted in the cancellation of their memberships from 15 standing committees.
Among the changes, Sahibzada Hamid Raza has been removed as Chairman of the Standing Committee on Human Rights, while Zartaj Gul has lost her membership in the same committee.
