PTI leader Meher Bano Qureshi has said her party will consider moving a no-confidence motion against newly elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Speaking to DawnNews on the programme ‘Doosra Rukh’, she said: “If our mandate is restored, and we get justice from the ECP and the courts, then we will tell the prime minister to take a vote of no confidence.

“And if he’s unsuccessful, then we’ll demand that the party with the most representation in the National Assembly gets the right to form a government.

She remarked that the prime minister’s election took place in an “incomplete parliament”.

Recalling her recent meeting with her incarcerated father and PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi and ex-premier Imran Khan, Qureshi quoted the duo as saying they did not see the new government functioning.

“If not today, then tomorrow justice will need to be delivered, whether through the ECP or through the Supreme Court.

“We will get justice one way or another. Neither do you have a democratic system, nor do you have a parliamentary system, nor do you have a government. “The government will not function without a mandate,” she said.
