Islamabad, April 9: Beleaguered Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan lost the trust vote in the National Assembly in a late night vote after high political drama that saw Speaker and National Assembly resigning from their posts after strong demands by opposition for completing the vote ordered by the Supreme Court.
“174 members have recorded their votes in favour of the resolution. Consequently, the resolution of no-confidence against Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan has been passed by a majority of the National Assembly,” said PML-N’s Ayaz Sadiq who chaired the session.
During the vote, members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were not present.
Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri tendered their resignations amid the high political drama in the country ahead of the no-confidence vote. After Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser announced his resignation, the invitation was given to opposition party leader Ayaz Sadiq to preside over the assembly session. (ANI)
