On Sunday, the President of Pakistan approved the dissolution of the parliament at the suggestion of the Prime Minister. This happened after the deputy speaker of the country's legislature, Kasim Suri, rejected the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister, saying that it contradicted Article 5 of the Constitution. The decision to cancel the no-confidence vote has sparked outrage from opposition parties, who have said they will challenge the decision in court.
