About a month after Opposition parties in Pakistan submitted a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan in the National Assembly, the crucial vote is to take place today. The vote in the Assembly will decide whether Imran Khan’s government will continue to rule the nation or if he will have to bid farewell to his chair. Imran Khan needs 172 votes in the lower house of 342 to foil the Opposition’s attempt to topple him. With key allies having deserted him, the numbers do not seem to be in his favour. However, he said on Saturday that he has “more than one plan” for the vote. Follow IndiaToday.in for LIVE updates on what’s happening in Pakistan.
Imran Khan may be the main character in the political crisis unfolding in Pakistan, but he’s not the only character.
No prime minister in Pakistan’s history has ever been ousted through a no-confidence motion. Imran Khan is the third one to face the challenge.
Also, no Pakistani prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term in office. Imran Khan has been in office for nearly four years now.
