Imran Khan has lost a crucial and much delayed no-confidence motion held a little past midnight on April 10  in Pakistan's Parliament. With this he officially ceases to be the country's Prime Minister, as the motion was able to mop up 174 viotes against a minimum requirement of 172.

Imran's supporters had staged a walkout from Parliament just minutes before the trust vote, ostensibly in response to the resignation tendered by Pakistan Speaker Asad Qaiser. When the voting process finally commenced, not a single member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party was present in the House.
