Pakistan’s parliament will be convened on Friday to take up a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the government said in a statement on Sunday.
An alliance of opposition parties filed the motion against Khan earlier this month, saying he had lost his parliamentary majority.
Pakistan's opposition parties' no-confidence move comes along with accusing Prime Minister Imran Khan of mismanaging the economy and poor governance in the toughest challenge he has faced since taking power in 2018.
Opposition leaders say Khan has lost public support as he struggles with high inflation, a rising current account deficit, and depleting foreign reserves.
Khan has responded to economic problems with cuts in fuel and electricity prices while rejecting calls to step down and warning the opposition of unspecified consequences if they force a vote of no-confidence.
Both the opposition and Khan's party are riven by factions. Khan won a confidence vote last year by six votes.
