ISLAMABAD: The joint Opposition has decided to bring an impeachment motion against President Arif Alvi, revealed well-placed sources on Thursday.
Sources privy to the matter said that if the Opposition succeeds in toppling down the PTI-led government through the no-confidence motion then the impeachment motion against the president will be tabled immediately.
A two-member committee, comprising Asif Ali Zardari and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has been formed to finalise a candidate for the coveted post of president.
The next president will be from PPP or JUI-F and he will complete the remaining tenure after the removal of Arif Alvi, said the sources.
Earlier today, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, in his hard-hitting speech against the prime minister, hinted about the next prime minister, saying: "We will request Shahbaz Sharif to appoint a good interior minister.”
The PPP chairman's comment came when he was speaking about the alleged corruption of the prime minister.
The Opposition has been tight-lipped about the post-Imran Khan scenario and is not sharing any details in this regard.
