ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan secured a vote of confidence in the National Assembly today (Saturday) after the government’s recent setback in the Senate polls.
President Dr Arif Alvi had summoned the National Assembly to meet today at 12:15pm.
Imran Khan is the second Prime Minister in the history of Pakistan who went to the National Assembly for a ‘voluntary’ vote of confidence.
Prior to PM Khan, Nawaz Sharif had sought a voluntary vote of confidence from the Parliament after his reinstatement was granted by the Supreme Court in 1993.
The Opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), boycotted the NA session.
