Imran Khan becomes the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no-confidence vote

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been ousted from power after losing a no-confidence vote in his leadership.

The vote was held past midnight after opposition parties brought a motion against him, following days of drama.

The motion was first brought against Mr Khan last week, but he blocked it by dissolving parliament.

Sunday's vote took place after the country's Supreme Court ruled in favour of opposition parties and said that Mr Khan had acted unconstitutionally.



Mr Khan is now the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no-confidence vote.

Pakistan's parliament will meet to vote for the country's new leader on Monday.

That person will be able to hold power until October 2023, when the next election is due to be held.

Ayaz Sadiq, who is in charge of the national assembly while there are no ruling party members or designated speakers, said nomination papers for candidates should be filed by 11:00 local time (06:00 GMT) on Sunday.

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.

In a tweet, opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan and its parliament were "finally freed from a serious crisis".

Mr Sharif added: "Congratulations to the Pakistani nation on a new dawn."

'International conspiracy'

Mr Khan had said he would not recognise an opposition government, claiming - without evidence - that there was a US-led conspiracy to remove him because of his refusal to stand with Washington on issues against Russia and China. .

He has repeatedly said that Pakistan's opposition parties are working with foreign powers.

The US has said there is "no truth" in these allegations, and Mr Khan has never provided any proof

He's blaming USA, many Pakistanis also believe that US orchestrated his downfall for not supporting US efforts in denouncing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and for visiting vladmir putin.

His own chief of army staff later turned against him by criticising Russia

Pakistan has had 29 prime ministers since 1947 and none has completed a full five years term

I remember his statement last month or so when he criticized Washington saying Pakistan is not a puppet or slave to any foreign power and cannot be forced to do what it doesn't want to do

I wish we were running such Government

Our own see it as their entitlements
Shameless politicians

In every Nation of the world, the USA has a say in her affairs otherwise that country will suffer.



... Seem like we should turn America to a religion and worship her BECAUSE if this isn't playing God, I dunno what is?

he paid the price ,this is why most leaders are scared of not reacting when US want them to react

Funny thing about blaming USA is people fail to see the local politics involved, USA can't never go to any country and change government without support of local politicians.

Imran Khan lost support of his own party and military this isn't USA's fault.

He already had problems before mingling with Russia, politicians are smart enough to point fingers so to gain sympathy and support, how does his removal benefit USA?
