0:46Now PlayingPakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted from office after losing a no-confidence vote following a week of dramatic political developments, becoming the first elected leader in the country’s history to be removed by parliament.
A total of 174 lawmakers from a united opposition voted against the premier, above the 172 required to remove the 69-year-old former cricket star from office, said opposition lawmaker Ayaz Sadiq, who presided over the parliament session as the ruling party’s speaker and deputy speaker both resigned shortly before the vote.
Khan’s party had caused multiple adjournments through the day to delay the no-confidence motion by repeating his claims that the U.S. wanted to oust his government. The Biden administration has denied the allegation.
Voting finally started just after midnight and Khan was not present when Sadiq announced the results of the vote. He had left for his private residence, local media reported. Opposition lawmakers cheered and clapped as the numbers were called out. Television channels showed opposition party flags being waved on the street and celebratory fireworks and gunfire sounded in Karachi and Islamabad.
