Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan announces that his party will dissolve two provincial assemblies next week, earlier than scheduled, in an attempt to pressure the federal government to hold early general elections
Khan has been campaigning for snap polls since he was ousted from power in a parliamentary vote in April.
Khan's announcement on Saturday comes several months after he first began campaigning for snap polls after being ousted from power in a parliamentary vote in April. Khan's party controls two of the country's four provincial assemblies. The other two are controlled by his political opponents, who also control the federal government under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and who have said they will not hold national and local polls before they are due in November 2023.
Punjab, controlled by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, is the country's most populous province and makes up nearly half of the country's population of 220 million.Historically, polls for the federal and provincial governments are held at the same time in a general election every five years.
