Imran Khan Wins Rare Confidence Vote, Retains The Hot Seat
SRINAGAR: Days after the ambitious ceasefire with India, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan won a voluntary confidence motion in the Pakistan parliament. It indicates a strong possibility of the continuation of the renewed bilateralism between India and Pakistan.
The voluntary confidence motion moved by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party was the outcome of Khan’s finance minister, Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, failing to get re-elected as Yousuf Raza Gillani, the joint opposition candidate defeated him early this week. He lost the senate re-election by five votes indicating that Khan’s PTI lacks the support of his own party in the parliament. Apparently pre-empting the possibility of a no-confidence vote, Khan voluntarily moved the motion in a special session that he eventually won.
