The Pakistan Supreme Court is deciding if the deputy speaker of the assembly violated the constitution by refusing to allow a no-confidence vote against Imran Khan at the weekend.
Pakistan's supreme court will rule Thursday on the legality of political manoeuvres that led Prime Minister Imran Khan to dissolve the national assembly and call fresh elections.
The court is deciding if the deputy speaker of the assembly violated the constitution by refusing to allow a no-confidence vote against Mr Khan at the weekend.
The move allowed Mr Khan to get the presidency -- a largely ceremonial role taken by a loyalist -- to dissolve parliament and order an election, which must be held within 90 days.
Had the vote taken place, Mr Khan was certain to have been booted from office.
