The Prime Minister is likely to meet a delegation of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), a key ally of the ruling PTI, in Islamabad on Saturday, Geo News reported citing party sources.


The development comes after a PTI delegation comprising federal ministers Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Asad Umar and Pervez Khattak called on MQM-P ministers in Islamabad on Friday.


The crucial no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan was filed by a joint front of all the opposition parties.


Notably, Imran Khan`s situation is uncomfortable given that three of the four allies, that is, MQM-P, PML-Q and BAP have stated their support for the Opposition`s no-confidence motion and said that they will vote accordingly


Ahead of the National Assembly session on the no-confidence motion on Friday, Bilawal Bhutto`s Pakistan People`s Party (PPP) had announced that matters had been settled with MQM-P and that the ruling coalition member will vote in favour of the motion to oust Imran Khan.


MQM-P is the largest ally of the ruling PTI coalition with seven members in the National Assembly.


The Pakistani National Assembly has a total strength of 342 members, with the majority mark being 172.
