Moonis Elahi, the head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), stated on Saturday that the establishment may arbitrate a political solution in the nation but added that they haven't gotten in touch with him yet.
Moonis said on Geo News' "Naya Pakistan" show that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and PML-Q had enough MPs to ensure that Parvez Elahi wins the vote of confidence and that his father, Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi, will accept it.
The PTI Chairman Imran Khan would decide on the date of the vote of confidence, he added, adding that the assemblies will also be dissolved in accordance with the former prime minister's instructions.

He claimed that a notice from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was issued against him "a day after I wanted a seat [ahead of the general elections 2018]," raising the possibility that Aleem and Tareen were involWhen asked about the differences between Chaudhry Shujaat, the leader of the PML-Q, and Elahi, Moonis responded, "Shujaat was mislead by his children."
When Shujaat chose not to support Elahi for the position of chief minister, the two, who were once thought to be quite close, started to drift apart earlier this year.ved in this situation.
