Islamabad: A major ally of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday it was quitting his coalition government ahead of a vote to oust him, likely to be held within the next five days.
Nasreen Jalil, a leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Khan's largest parliamentary ally, told a press conference the party was joining an opposition bloc seeking to oust him through a no-confidence vote.
With the support of the MQM, the opposition bloc has, on paper, the requisite number of votes needed in parliament to vote Khan and his government out.
