ISLAMABAD: To avoid losing a no-confidence vote in parliament, Pakistan leader Imran Khan instead triggered an unprecedented political crisis. Now the question is whether voters will reward him at the next election.
In a series of events on Sunday that stunned Pakistan, a member of Khan’s party scrapped the parliamentary vote over alleged foreign interference before the prime minister swiftly called an election in a nationally televised address. The president, another Khan ally, dissolved parliament shortly afterward.
