Pak political crisis LIVE: Imran Khan awaits no-trust vote, Assembly delayed

Pakistan Political Crisis Latest News: Pakistan's parliament convened on Saturday to vote on Imran Khan as prime minister, in a big blow to his plans of fresh elections.

The opposition leaders including Shabhaz Sharif, Shah Mahmood Qureshi urged the speaker to hold a no-confidence motion against the government as per the supreme court's order. On the other hand, Speaker Asad Qaiser said that there should be a dicussion on the "international conspiracy" issue today.

The assembly was adjourned till 12:30 pm (1 pm IST).

Pakistan's Supreme Court on Thursday restored the national assembly - days after it was dissolved by president Arif Alvi, without any no-trust vote against Khan. After an unprecedented rejection by the deputy speaker of the no-confidence motion last week, massive criticism followed with opposition leaders calling the move “unconstitutional”.
