If so, Governor Punjab Baligh ur Rehman, under Article 7-130 of the Constitution can ask Ch Pervez Elahi to get a vote of confidence simply because in the absence of one MPA Chaudhary Pervaiz will lose the position of CM.
(7) The Chief Minister shall hold office during the pleasure of the Governor, but the Governor shall not exercise his powers under this clause unless he is satisfied that the Chief Minister does not command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Provincial Assembly, in which case he shall summon the Provincial Assembly and require the Chief Minister to obtain a vote of confidence from the Assembly.
