Are you talking about hasil bizenjo to resign from MNA's seat?

This was the maximum they could pull off and they failed in even doing that
Now pti has absolutely nothing to worry about and should now focus on the structural reforms and subsequent removal of 18th amendment
@PakSword @RealNapster

this move came from nowhere , what can be the motive ? changing senate chairman ,what opposition can achieve ..... skeptical ...

There is no PTI-PPP underhand alliance, some PML-N supporters live in la-la land thinking of conspiracies everywhere. PPP and PML-N tried their best to remove the senate chairman as it would'be been a big victory for them and further their agenda, why would PML-N & PPP leadership go against their own survival?

The Red Indian saying from the movies " White man speaks with fork tongue" applies to the 14 Senators who changed colors. But was that so "Unexpected"? In my humble opinion, the following article says all that is is needed to be said.

Senate drama
Editorial

August 03, 2019



IT was a scene from a Byzantine drama, no less. As 64 senators stood up to show support for a no-confidence resolution against Senate chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, no one, least of all the joint opposition that had submitted the motion, could have foreseen the bizarre denouement. The cheerful thumping of hands on the tables appeared to be a hearty endorsement of the opposition’s wish to dethrone Mr Sanjrani — and the numbers translated into an easy win for their candidate Senator Mir Hasil Bizenjo; only 53 votes were required to oust the chairman. But the mood abruptly changed after the results of the secret ballot were announced: Mr Sanjrani had maintained his position by a whisker — a mere three votes. That meant that 14 senators had betrayed their leadership through resorting to what was widely alleged to be deliberate sabotage, by either wasting their votes, or directly voting against the motion. The ruling party burst into loud cheers, the stunned opposition cried conspiracy. Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif and PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari vowed to hold accountable those within their parties who had “sold their conscience” and “harmed democracy” for their personal interests. Not one for mincing his words, Mr Bizenjo squarely laid the blame for his defeat on the DG ISI, an allegation denied by the ISPR.

But was the outcome really unexpected in the context of our political history? Whatever the reasons — pressure from the powers that be, monetary inducements, a genuine distrust of their own leadership, or even ties with those across the aisle — for the opposition senators to go against their word, ‘horse-trading’ is very much part and parcel of how the game of politics is played here. And it is one that should be familiar enough to the PPP — that had earlier reposed its trust in the controversial Mr Sanjrani during his election as Senate chairman — and the PML-N. Both have played the game before.

In fact, in earlier times, when the then underdog PTI had spoken out against political horse-trading, the parties had ignored appeals to reform the system. Now, as they suffer from their own lack of foresight, they would do well to acknowledge that if casting a secret ballot is unprincipled in their books today, it should have been so earlier as well, when they benefited from it while others cried foul from the sidelines. Indeed, there is a lesson for all parties over here; one look at the current government, that is composed largely of former Musharraf and PPP loyalists, exposes a stark lack of principle and ideological conviction. While it is time to debate the logic of having a secret ballot in the first place, it perhaps more essential for party leaderships to look within and reflect on the culture of political opportunism that they have themselves nurtured. Without such introspection they can expect horse-trading to go on.

It only says 'horse trading' and repeats it.

Article completely ignored the questions that are:

1. Why would Zardari back a Maryam/PMLN appointed chairman of all the people to replace his own appointed person?

2. And why would Showbaz & Son let Maryam have a political victory if they gain nothing?
