After the no-confidence motion was moved by the opposition leader, the members were counted in which the members of the ruling coalition and dissident members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were not present.

After the counting of the members who stood up in favor of the motion, the deputy speaker approved a discussion on the no-confidence motion.

Later, the Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser adjourned the Session till March 31. The Opposition requires 172 votes in the favor of the No-Confidence Motion to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The Opposition parties are confident that they can get the support of 172 members in the house of 342 to dislodge the government, while the government claims that it enjoys the required support in the house to foil the attempt.
