Imran Khan loses no-trust vote, removed as Pakistan PM
By Trend
Pakistan's National Assembly on Sunday voted in favour of removing Prime Minister Imran Khan from office, following a nearly 14-hour standoff between the opposition and Khan's ruling party that started on Saturday morning, Trend reports citing Gulf News.
Opposition parties were able to secure 174 votes in the 342-member house in support of the no-confidence motion, the house speaker said, making it a majority vote. There were just a few legislators of Khan's ruling party present for the process.
The vote means Khan will no longer hold office and the National Assembly will now elect a new prime minister and government.
