ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan faces an imminent no-confidence vote that threatens to bring down his government, in what would be a first for the South Asian country.
The motion was tabled on Monday in a special National Assembly session, setting in motion proceedings toward the vote. The session has now been adjourned until Thursday when the debate over the motion is expected to begin. When the vote will take place is still unknown, but the prime minister is widely expected to lose it, after members of his party defected and allies turned against him amid a storm of criticism over his economic stewardship.
