Opposition leaders had demanded Imran Khan to resign even before he lost majority in the assembly, but his allies have said he will not resign.
Opposition parties have said that Imran Khan, who came to power on the slogan of fighting corruption, was found to be “hiding vital information” from Pakistan’s Election Commission in a foreign funding case. He has been accused by the opposition of taking money from other countries without informing the Election Commission of Pakistan as well as the State Bank of Pakistan.
Imran Khan has ordered all MPs of his party to remain absent from the assembly on polling day, to reduce any chances of dissidents secretly supporting the proposal to remove him. In the absence of MPs, all he had to do was ensure that the opposition did not get the 172 votes needed to pass the no-confidence motion.
