After Imran Khan’s no-confidence vote, his followers and opposition came to parliament to show support, cheer the result while small fights erupted between groups as Pakistan’s parliament will choose new prime minister on Monday
Pakistan's parliament to choose next prime minister after Imran Khan, 69, who surged to power in 2018, lost his parliamentary majority when allies quit his coalition government.
As many as 174 lawmakers voted in favour of the no-trust motion on Saturday, two more than the required 172 for a simple majority in the 324-member National Assembly, the lower house of parliament. A start to the voting, which was to happen on Saturday on court orders, was announced by a legislator from the opposition, who took over the empty speaker's seat.
Small clashes erupted between the different parties which led to the police intervening. Pakistani security forces began to take measures to prevent bigger clashes.
