The major development comes as PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi met the Prime Minister at his Bani Gala residence.
Earlier in the day, Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry mentioned a change in the most populous region saying it is obvious that the decision for a change in the provincial government has to be taken.
The move is said to be a big blow to the opposition as PML-N claimed reaching a political understanding with Chaudhrays ahead of the no-trust vote.
