PPP Senator Sherry Rehman has said President Alvi does not have room to put conditions on summoning the National Assembly session.

“Article 91(2) [of the Constitution] provides that the National Assembly shall have to meet on the 21st day on which the general election to the assembly is held, unless sooner summoned by the president.

“It means explicitly that the power of the president under Article 54(1) is restricted to a maximum of 21 days with respect to the inaugural session of the NA,” she wrote on X.
