The term “minus one formula” may seem strange to political arenas around the world, but it is not strange to the Pakistani arena. This formula means that if the leader of any party is no longer acceptable to those controlling power in the country, then another person will replace him from within the party itself.

It also has another meaning, which is targeting the Prime Minister alone under multiple justifications, thus making his office unstable and shaky. The most popular leader - by far - is the former Prime Minister and leader of the Insaf Party, Imran Khan.
