Pakistani PM Imran Khan ousted through no-confidence vote
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan ( AA) – Pakistan’s parliament voted out Prime Minister Imran Khan in a no-confidence motion early Sunday, capping a month-long political turmoil.
As many as 174 lawmakers voted in favor of the no-trust motion, two more than the required 172 for a simple majority in the 324-member National Assembly, the lower house of the parliament.
It is the first time a Pakistani prime minister has ever been ousted by a no-confidence motion put forward by the opposition.
The session was presided by Ayaz Sadiq, a former chair of the house, as the speaker and deputy speaker stepped down minutes before the voting began.
