Azad Jammu and Kashmir High Court issued a stay order against election process of Prime Minister in the Legislative Assembly on a writ petition filed by opposition leader Chaudhry Latif Akbar and others.

Earlier, AJK Legislative Assembly met in Muzaffarabad, as was summoned by the Speaker on a no-confidence motion.

However, Prime Minister Abdul Qayyum Niazi resigned from office last night, and issued a schedule for election after suspending two rules of procedure.
