The Pakistani parliament voted in favor of the motion of no-confidence once morest Prime Minister Imran Khan, following the opposition parties secured the numbers needed for a no-confidence vote, which Khan had previously escaped twice before, to be the third fixed.
Parliament announced that “174 members registered their votes in favor of the resolution, and therefore the vote of no-confidence vote once morest Imran Khan was passed by a majority”, becoming the first prime minister to be voted on to remove him from office.
Following the vote on the resolution, Imran Khan left for his residence in Bani Jala, leaving the Prime Minister’s home.
Move to the opposition
Pakistani political analyst Fazl Bangish says that Imran Khan will not accept defeat easily, and he has previously tried to exaggerate the issue that America is behind the end of his government in order to gain popularity, perhaps helping him in the event of an early election.
Bangsh added, to Sky News Arabia, following withdrawing confidence from Khan, that if he does not resign from Parliament, he will lead the opposition once morest the new government, and he will complete the period of one and a half years and will be the new prime minister, Shahbaz Sharif.
He indicated that if Imran Khan submits the resignation along with all members of parliament from his Insaf party, which has 150 seats, we may see a move towards early elections.
He added that Pakistan is going through political turmoil at the present time, since Imran Khan said that foreign powers were behind the overthrow of his “democratically elected” government.
No room for maneuver
For his part, the expert on Pakistan affairs, Muhammad al-Akkad, who resides in Islamabad, said that Imran Khan’s room for maneuver was narrow, and his options were limited, so he had no choice but to submit his resignation or return once more to the session of no-confidence in Parliament, which had previously secured the parties The opposition has the votes necessary for it, and any moves to block the no-confidence will be unconstitutional and will not bring results in favor of Khan, which is what has already happened and the confidence has been withdrawn from him.
Al-Akkad added, to “Sky News Arabia”: “But it is not expected that Imran Khan will respond to the matter easily, and it is expected that Imran and members of his party will submit their resignation from Parliament following the no-confidence, in order to narrow the opposition and create a large vacancy in Parliament seats, as he owns 150 members of Parliament in favor of the Islah party he heads, which eventually leads to a move towards early elections.
Early elections
As for the Pakistani strategic analyst, Hudhayfa Farid, he says that the country will move towards early elections, which will be in the interest of Imran Khan.
Farid added, to “Sky News Arabia”, that there are two things that will contribute to Khan’s great victory in the early elections, the first is electronic voting, which the opposition refuses to implement, and will be available during the early elections, and the other thing is to grant expatriates the right to vote, which was something that was Replaced by the opposition parties.
Farid noted that the expatriate vote would enable Imran to win the 6 million vote, as Imran Khan promised his supporters a strong comeback.
