Imran Khan News LIVE Updates: In Address to Pak, PM Will ‘Expose Int’l Conspiracy’ Today, May Resign Before ‘Imported Crisis of No-trust Motion’

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is likely to step down after his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s ally and the main coalition partner Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM) reached an agreement with the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). “The united opposition and MQM have reached an agreement. Rabta committee MQM and PPP CEC will ratify the said agreement. We will then share details with the media in a press conference tomorrow IA. Congratulations Pakistan,” tweeted PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Sources told News18 that ministers from the MQM-P, whose support would have been vital to keeping Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in power, will resign from the cabinet at 12:30 pm. If they resign, Imran Khan will lose the majority in the National Assembly, the lower house of Pakistan parliament, and the opposition numbers would swell to 180.

Speculation is also rife that in this scenario, Imran Khan will resign as Pakistan PM outside parliament.

Imran Khan on Tuesday strictly directed his party lawmakers to either abstain or not attend the National Assembly session on the day of voting on the no-confidence motion against him, which is likely to be held in the first week of April. The instructions came a day after Pakistan’s opposition on Monday tabled the no-trust motion in the National Assembly against Khan, who is facing his toughest political test since assuming office in 2018 as defections in his party and cracks in the ruling coalition appeared to have made his position fragile.
