Pakistan’s prime minister threw the country into political limbo on Sunday (April 3), accusing the U.S. of attempting to oust him and cancelling a no-confidence vote he was poised to lose. He then ordered the National Assembly dissolved so new elections can be held.
Just moments ago, Imran Khan was officially removed as Prime Minister of Pakistan with immediate effect, per notification of the Cabinet Division of the Islamic Republic.
It was unclear on Sunday where the powerful military—which has directly ruled Pakistan for more than half of its 75-year history—stood in the fray.
