Imran Khan survived an attempt to oust him as Pakistan's prime minister on Sunday, after a no-confidence vote was blocked in parliament by the deputy speaker.
Khan, who is facing the toughest challenge of his political career, requested the country's President dissolve Parliament and called on the nation prepare for a fresh election.
Khan had been set to lose the no confidence motion with the opposition having secured enough votes. But in a dramatic reprieve for the embattled leader, the vote was blocked as "unconstitutional" by the deputy speaker, citing Articles 5 and 6 of Pakistan's parliament.
