In the election for the chief minister’s slot on April 16, 2022, PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz got 197 votes as opposed to the required number of 186 in the House of 371, meaning the support of PTI dissidents was key to his victory.
Hamza Shehbaz garnered 197 votes to beat Elahi — his rival, whose party PML-Q and ally PTI boycotted the election held on April 16. Hamza will now lose the majority as the dissidents have been de-seated. As they had voted in favour of Hamza Shahbaz during the election of Chief Minister Punjab slot.

The verdict has gained more importance after the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Article 63(A), holding that the vote of dissident MPs cannot be counted.
The decision was made with a majority of 3-2, Justice Jamal Mandokhel and Justice Nazeer Alam dissented from the decision. The hearing of the case commenced on March 21 under a two-member bench, which was later increased to a larger bench by CJP Bandial.
Furthermore, article 63(A) cannot be interpreted alone, other articles also need to be kept in context, said the Cheif Justice in the verdict.
