Apparently recently someone filed a complaint with the courts saying that all those british citizens giving up their citizenships are still retaining their ILR status in the UK. Im not sure what it exactly is, but ILR (independent leave to remain) allows a person to apparently suspend their citizenship, and still allows them unlimited travel/stay in the UK?
So they are retaining their backup plan.

ILR is Indefinite Leave to Remain - it allows you to live and work in the UK, without the rights of British citizens.

Bearing in mind that Pakistani citizens can vote in local and national elections in the UK, and be elected as MPs in the UK, the only thing you would lose out on is being able to get help from British Diplomats, Visa-Free travel to many countries, and being able to serve on a jury in the UK.

It’s actually the ultimate backup plan. If he still has ILR status, he could move back to the UK and get re-elected to his old position without having to wait for 5 years to get his British citizenship back.
