ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's parliament will convene on Friday (Mar 25) to take up a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the lower house speaker's office said on Sunday, in what shapes up as his toughest test since coming to power in 2018.

An alliance of opposition parties filed the motion against Khan this month, saying he had lost his parliamentary majority after over a dozen defections from his party, raising the risk of political turmoil in the nuclear-armed South Asian country.

Under the constitution, the speaker of the lower house of parliament is required to convene the session within 14 days of receiving the motion, which would fall on Monday.

But a statement from the speaker's office said the date was pushed back several days because of a conference of Islamic countries in Islamabad scheduled for Mar 23.

The opposition accuses Khan of mismanaging the economy and foreign policy. He denies this. No Pakistani prime minister has ever completed his full term in office.

The loss of dissident lawmakers has left Khan about a dozen seats less than the minimum - 172 - needed for a majority. The joint opposition commands 163 seats in the lower house but could build a majority if most of the defectors effectively join its ranks via a no-confidence vote.

The opposition and political analysts also say Khan has fallen out with Pakistan's powerful military, whose support is critical for any party to attain power in the way the former cricket star's upstart party did four years ago.

Khan and the military deny the accusation.

Sounds just like KL.
All 5hese viuntries shoukd ditch the furst oast tge post system of UK and US and adopt the proportionsl representation system as adopted in germany.
In proportional representation, percentage of seats in parliament tallies with votes obtained in election. Voters vote for parties and not individuals in first past the post system. You cannot swap seats. You must resign and another member of same party will replace you in parliament. More stability. Less party hopping snd seat buying

Not bad for a Pashtun to be PM in Punjabi-majority Pakistan.
But now and in the foreseeable future, it is not likely for a non-Malay to be be PM in Malaysia.
