The government of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan fell this Saturday after losing a vote on censorship against him, making the former cricketer the first ruler in the country’s history to be ousted by parliament. .
The petition for knowledge submitted by the opposition was adopted in favor of 174 out of 342 legislators in the National Assembly (lower house).
The Speaker of Parliament resigns
Asad Kaiser, Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan (lower house) resigned from the polling station. “Under oath, it is my duty to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the Pakistani state (…) I can no longer remain in office. I’m leaving the post, “said Assad Kaiser, who chaired the chamber.
Assad Kaiser cited an alleged letter that Khan said was a declaration of no-confidence as part of a foreign-led conspiracy led by the United States.
Immediately after that, the representatives of the ruling party left the camera, and the pictures of the Pakistani news channel Geo News show the pictures of leaving the official residence of the Prime Minister’s car.
Asad Kaiser’s ouster was immediately preceded by a motion to vote, which was delayed throughout the day by lengthy speeches, breaks and meetings by Khan’s supporters.
This is the second attempt by the United Opposition to vote after Qassim Surri blocked his third consultation.
