Pakistan: Imran Khan loses no-trust vote, prime ministerial term set for unceremonious end

ISLAMABAD, 10 April 2022, (TON): The opposition's no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan succeeded an hour past midnight on Sunday, with 174 members in the 342-strong house voting in favour of the motion.

PML-N's Ayaz Sadiq, who was chairing the session, announced the result.

According to PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb “Sadiq could not cast his vote as he was chairing the session. PTI dissenting members vote were not cast either.”

National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser resigned from his post.

He said "I will ask the panel chairman Ayaz Sadiq to run the session.”

After Sadiq took the chair, he paid tribute to Qaiser for remaining with his party and opting for an honourable exit.
