Pakan National Assembly adjourned, to meet again on Monday to elect new PM

National Assembly proceedings were adjourned in the early hours of Sunday and the House will meet again on April 11 at 2 pm to elect the new premier after Pakan Prime Miner Imran Khan was removed from office through a no-confidence vote.
Ayaz Sadiq of Pakan Muslim League-Nawaz, who was chairing the crucial session, said the nomination papers for the new prime miner may be submitted 2 pm on Sunday and the scrutiny would be done 3 pm.
He summoned the session on Monday at 11 am and said the new premier would be elected then. However, the National Assembly of Pakan later informed on its official Twitter account that the House will meet at 2 pm.
“The Sitting of the National Assembly will meet again on Monday, the 11th April, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. instead of 11:00 a.m,” it tweeted.

Earlier, Sadiq was nominated Speaker Asad Qaiser to chair the session after the leader of Imran Khan’s party, Pakan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), announced to step down as it was not possible for him to continue.
Sadiq immediately started the voting process.
The joint Opposition – a rainbow of social, liberal and radically religious parties – secured the support of 174 members in the 342-member National Assembly, more than the needed strength of 172 to oust the prime miner on a day full of drama and multiple adjournments of the Lower House.
No prime miner in Pakan’s hory was ever ousted through a no-confidence motion. Khan is the first premier whose fate was decided through a trust vote.
Also, no Pakani prime miner has ever completed a full five-year term in office.

Khan, 69, was not present in the lower house at the time of voting. His party lawmakers staged a walkout during the voting. However, PTI’s dissident members were present in the house and sat on the government benches.
The removal of Khan has set in motion the process to elect the new leader of the house.
The combined opposition has already named PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif as joint candidate.
