KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday claimed to have acquired the required number of members in the Punjab Assembly to form its government in the province, ARY News reported.

According to party leader Fawad Chaudhary, the next chief minister of Punjab will be from the PTI.

Sources said that Chaudhary Shujaat will announce support of eight of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) MPAs to the PTI sometime later today.

The PTI says it has now support of 150 members in the Punjab Assembly to establish its government in the province, thus pushing the PML-N on the opposition benches.

Some media reports suggest that PML-Q may demand the slot of deputy chief minister in return for support of its members to the PTI. However, none of the party members have officially confirmed these reports.
