A vote on the motion must be held by Monday. <\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Khan\u2019s main parliamentary ally, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), abandoned his coalition and threw its lot in with the opposition seeking to oust him.<\/p>\n<p>Opposition leaders had called on Khan to resign even before he lost his majority in parliament, but his aides have said he will not quit. <\/p>\n<p>Khan\u2019s ouster could mean another round of instability in a country in which the military has a long record of intervening in politics and no prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term.<\/p>\n<p>Political analysts said Khan enjoyed the support of the military when he won an election to become prime minister in 2018 but he later lost the generals\u2019 favour over various wrangles.<\/p>\n<p>Khan has denied ever having the backing of the military and the military, which has ruled Pakistan for about half its history, denies involvement in civilian politics.<\/p>\n<p>EXPLAINER-Pakistan PM Khan faces difficult no confidence vote https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/pakistan-pm-khan-faces-difficult-no-confidence-vote-2022-03-30<\/p>\n<p>NEWSMAKER-Pakistan cricket star Imran Khan in danger of dropping the ball as PM https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/pakistan-cricket-star-imran-khan-danger-dropping-ball-pm-2022-03-30<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Asif Shahzad in Islamabad; Writing by Alasdair Pal; Editing by Robert Birsel)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Pakistan&#8217;s Prime Minister Imran Khan speaks during a joint news conference with Malaysia&#8217;s Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad (not pictured) in Putrajaya, Malaysia, February 4, 2020.
