With the dissolution of the regional legislature, the government and opposition will oppose names for the caretaker setup.  

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, who was ousted from premiership via a no-confidence vote in spring 2022, planned the dissolution of two provincial assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, where his coalition holds a majority.

As the former ruling party seems ecstatic over putting pressure on the incumbent government, his gambit is expected to deepen political uncertainty in a cash-strapped country, which is facing a severe crisis stemming from delays in the release of IMF loan.

Despite the worst economic crisis in recent memory, the populist leader Imran Khan believes that snap polls will help the economic woes of the South Asian nation however the sitting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his cabinet members continued to oppose him, calling his moves unconstitutional for dissolving the assemblies and going for next general elections.
