Imran Khan ousted as Pakistan's PM after losing no-confidence vote - BBC News

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been ousted from power after losing a no-confidence vote in his leadership.

The vote was held past midnight in the country's capital Islamabad after opposition parties brought a motion against him, following days of drama.

The motion was first brought last week, but the former cricket star blocked it by dissolving parliament. The country's Supreme Court then ruled in favour of opposition parties and said that Mr Khan had acted unconstitutionally.

Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif - who is expected to be chosen as the new prime minister on Monday - said Pakistan and its parliament were "finally freed from a serious crisis".
