“We are sending these names to the Punjab governor and if the opposition thinks broadly, the agreement upon the suggested names seems likely.”

It is important to note that the summary of dissolution was sent on Thursday by Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Parvez Elahi, and that, in accordance with the Constitution, the assembly must be dissolved within 48 hours, regardless of the governor's decision.

According to Article 112 of the Constitution, the assembly stands automatically “dissolved at the expiration of forty-eight hours after the chief minister has so advised” if the governor does not do it.
