No Pakistani prime minister has completed a full tenure

In 75-year history, no Pakistani prime minister has completed a full five-year tenure, a trend that has spread since the removal of Imran Khan, who lost a no-confidence vote Sunday.

Pakistan, which has been a parliamentary democracy for most of its history, has had a total of 29 prime ministers since 1947, one of whom has served twice during the year.

Imran Khan was removed as prime minister as a result of a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

In the last days of his presidency, Imran Khan used all possible means to block the no-confidence vote, even taking steps such as dissolving the meeting, but then he had to surrender to the Supreme Court.

Yesterday was also a turbulent day in Pakistan's history when after a long day of delays in last night's Assembly, a vote on the opposition movement finally took place and Imran Khan was forced to resign as prime minister.
