Ok I got some clarification on it and I hope it's correct information. Technically in Punjab Assembly, it is Pervaiz Elahi who is pmlQ parlimentary leader since you need to be the member of that parliment first. So it's Elahi, whose orders will be acceptable not of Shujhaat. So pmlQ MPAs vote to Hamza will than not be accepted by deputy speaker during counting(here deputy speaker is a Lota). However Shujhat can ask pmlQ few MPAs not to vote which is a possibility but highly unlikely.
Yeah that's the confusion.
Does the parliamentary leader (Pervez Elahi) have to order his members to vote for a certain person, or is it the party leader (Ch Sujaat).
63-A-1(B) says:
"votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any direction issued by the Parliamentary Party to which he belongs, in relations to"
So it just says parliamentary party...it would then be logical to assume the direction comes from the parliamentary leader.
Moreover, Mian Mehmood Ul Rashid today said that as the parliamentary leader of PTI in PA, he has written a letter to all the party members to vote for Pervez Elahi. Not Imran Khan, but Mehmood Ul Rashid wrote it.
So I think this hoobla about Ch Shujaat writing a letter or whatever is bogus. This wouldn't stand in court.
Now will more members want to go lota after seeing what happened? Hard to believe.
