Imran Khan To Remain Pak Prime Minister Till President Appoints New Caretaker PM.

Imran Khan will remain in office till a caretaker Prime Minister is appointed, Pakistan’s President Arif Alvi clarified in a late-night tweet.

“Mr. Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi, shall continue as Prime Minister till the appointment of caretaker Prime Minister under Article 224 A (4) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan,” the president’s office said in a tweet.

In a series of rapid developments, Imran Khan on Sunday outsmarted the opposition’s move to oust him as deputy speaker Qasim Suri, a member of the ruling PTI, rejected a no-confidence motion against Khan under Article 5 of the constitution. Khan has now called for fresh elections.

On Monday, the Supreme Court will take up the matter after the opposition raised objections against the dismissal of the no-trust vote.

The Supreme Court will decide if the no-trust vote will be taken up again or fresh polls – which the Imran Khan government has said were likely in three months – will take place.
