Imran Khan
Pakistan Crisis News: Political crisis in Pakistan has intensified with reports suggesting that Prime Minister Imran Khan may step down from the post ahead of debate on the no-trust motion moved by the Opposition. The Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has already lost majority in the National Assembly after main coalition partner Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM) reached an agreement with the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) against a beleaguered Imran.
While no Pakistan PM has ever been ousted through a no-confidence motion with Imran Khan being the third prime minister facing the motion in the lower house of country's parliament, it is also a fact that none of prime ministers of Pakistan has ever completed full five year term.
