Britain’s governing Conservatives will hold a no-confidence vote in Prime Minister Boris Johnson that could oust him as Britain’s leader.
Party official Graham Brady says he has received enough letters from lawmakers demanding a vote on Johnson’s leadership to trigger one. That happens if 54 Tory lawmakers - 15% of the party's group in the House of Commons - write to Brady.
“The threshold of 15% has been passed," Brady said. He said the vote would take place in person in the House of Commons on Monday evening.
If Johnson loses the vote among the 359 Conservative lawmakers, he will be replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister. If he wins, he can't face another challenge for a year.
Johnson has been struggling to turn a page on months of ethics scandals, most notably over rule-breaking parties in government buildings during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Following a report into lockdown rule-breaking, Johnson had said it was time to "move on" and focus on other responsibilities such as the war in Ukraine and U.K. cost of living.
But a growing number of Conservatives feel that Johnson, the charismatic leader who won them a huge parliamentary majority in 2019, is now a liability.
If Johnson is ousted it would spark a Conservative leadership contest, in which several prominent government ministers are likely to run.

Days after his removal as the Prime Minister, Imran Khan apparently targeted Pakistan's Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Addressing workers of his political party, Khan spoke about the institutions of the country being against him.&nbsp;Khan said that if one or two persons commit a mistake, the entire institution can't be blamed.
Khan said, "Institutions are run by people. If one person inside the institution commits a mistake, the entire institution is not responsible. If you talk about the Election Commission, there is no doubt that the current Election Commissioner is anti-PTI. EC's judgments have been against the law."
This is believed to have been a jibe at Bajwa, while trying to suggest that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, or PTI, does not have a problem with the powerful Army.
Imran Khan was ousted from the Prime Minister's office on April 10 after losing a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.&nbsp;In the run-up to the vote, Khan had alleged a foreign conspiracy against him, hinting at America's role.
Imran Khan is believed to have run afoul of the Army after he opposed Bajwa's choice as Pakistan's spymaster.&nbsp;Khan eventually agreed to appoint Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum as the ISI chief, but relations with the Army soured.
The Pakistani army has long been accused of pulling the strings of the country's political establishment.&nbsp;The Army has also ruled Pakistan directly for around half of its independent history.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has written a letter to his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, pitching for "meaningful" engagement between the two countries, people familiar with the development said on Sunday.
Sharif's communication on Saturday came in response to a letter sent by Modi to the Pakistani leader congratulating him on becoming the prime minister, they said.
In his letter a few days ago, Modi conveyed to Sharif that India desired constructive ties with Pakistan.
On April 11, the Pakistan parliament selected Sharif as the 23rd prime minister of the country, a day after Imran Khan was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote.
In a Twitter post, Modi congratulated Sharif on becoming the prime minister of Pakistan and said India desires peace and stability in a region free of terrorism.
"Congratulations to H. E. Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on his election as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. India desires peace and stability in a region free of terror, so that we can focus on our development challenges and ensure the well-being and prosperity of our people," he tweeted on April 11.
In his response, Sharif said Pakistan desires peaceful and cooperative ties with India.
"Thank you Premier Narendra Modi for felicitations. Pakistan desires peaceful &amp; cooperative ties with India. Peaceful settlement of outstanding disputes including Jammu &amp; Kashmir is indispensable. Pakistan's sacrifices in fighting terrorism are well-known. Let's secure peace and focus on socio-economic development of our people," the Pakistan prime minister tweeted.
It is learnt that Sharif, in his reply to Modi's letter, also sought resolution of the outstanding issues, including that of Kashmir, while maintaining that Pakistan favours peaceful and cooperative ties with India.
India has been maintaining that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan while insisting that the onus is on Islamabad to create an environment free of terror and hostility for such an engagement.
The ties between India and Pakistan came under severe strain after India's warplanes pounded a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan in February 2019 in response to the Pulwama terror attack.
The relations further deteriorated after India in August 2019 announced withdrawing special powers of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcation of the state into two union territories.
"The government's consistent position has been that India desires normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan and is committed to addressing issues, if any, bilaterally and peacefully in an atmosphere free of terror, hostility and violence," Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said in Parliament on April 7 while replying to a question.
"The onus is on Pakistan to create such a conducive atmosphere," he added. PTI

Amid increased speculation that the Pakistani Army is pulling the strings of the country's political parties, the force tried to distance itself from the political discourse.
Days after Imran Khan lost the Prime Minister's throne after reportedly trying to sack the current Army chief, rumours regarding General Bajwa's tenure were addressed. The Pakistan Army's spokesperson stated that General Qamar Javed Bajwa is neither seeking an extension, nor will he accept it. Bajwa will retire as scheduled on November 29, 2022.
He was reportedly granted an extension in June 2020, five months before his scheduled retirement. Bajwa assumed the top post in 2016 when Nawaz Sharif was the Prime Minister.
Imran Khan and Bajwa reportedly clashed in 2021, over the appointment of the new chief of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI. Bajwa's choice was eventually appointed.
Meanwhile, the Army spokesperson said that the force should be kept away from the political discourse after major turmoil over the no-confidence motion. Major General Babar Iftikhar said, "We appeal to the people, and political parties, that the Army not be dragged into politics. We want to stay out of politics. Army should be kept out of political discourse. This attempt failed in the past, and god willing, will fail now. 'Neutral' is not the correct word to describe the stance of the Army, and other institutions. 'Apolitical' is a better description. Our constitutional and legal duties do not envision a political role."

Pakistani military claimed successful testing of its Shaheen-III missile on April 9. The announcement came even as the country grappled with political turmoil, and the National Assembly met for a no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan government
The Shaheen-III is a surface-to-surface ballistic missile. It has a range of 2,750 km, making it capable of reaching India's northeast, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, according to Pakistani media outlet Dawn. The Shaheen-III was first tested in March 2015.
The missile reportedly has a solid-fuel system for rapid response. It also has a Post-Separation Altitude Correction system, for better trajectory and evasion of anti-missile defence systems, according to the Dawn report.
The Pakistani army claimed that the latest test was "aimed at revalidating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system". After the successful test, Pakistani military personnel were seen celebrating and raising religious slogans in the official video.

The defence of his government was led by foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi who is also the vice-chairman of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Qureshi accused the Opposition of indulging in horse-trading to steal legislators and destabilise the government.
Qureshi claimed that during an earlier episode of horse-trading, the PTI had submitted proof with the Election Commission, but after multiple hearings over the course of a year, the judgment is still reserved.
Many allies have deserted Imran Khan, and joined ranks with the Opposition, putting the government in minority.

 Qureshi claimed that during an earlier episode of horse-trading, the PTI had submitted proof with the Election Commission, but after multiple hearings over the course of a year, the judgment is still reserved.
 Many allies have deserted Imran Khan, and joined ranks with the Opposition, putting the government in minority.

In April 1996, Imran Khan, the cricketer became Imran Khan, the politician. Now, 26 years later, he is facing his biggest political test yet - a no-confidence motion.
Imran Khan wants to create history. He wants to be the first Prime Minister in Pakistan's 75-year history to complete his term.
But the outlook is bleak, as his allies have switched sides. Now, as the athlete-turned-legislator fights for survival, here's a brief look at the highlights of his political career.
With the symbol of a cricket bat, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was launched by Imran Khan on April 25, 1996 in Lahore. After failing to win any seats in the 1997 elections, the PTI finally opened its account in 2002, when Imran Khan was elected to the National Assembly.
A dry spell of more than a decade followed, with Imran Khan not being able to convert his sports stardom into political power. Finally, in 2013, the PTI made an electoral mark by winning over 30 seats in the National Assembly. Imran Khan's party also formed the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in alliance with Jamaat-i-Islami.
Five years later, Khan's dream finally came true when the PTI emerged as the single-largest party in the elections, and went on to form the government at the centre with the help of smaller allies.
Then, in October 2022, the downturn in Imran's political fortunes is believed to have begun. The premier reportedly refused to approve the appointment of the officer chosen by the Pakistani Army chief to lead the nation's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.
In Pakistan, support of the powerful and influential military is believed to be the key to acquiring and retaining power.

Pakistan is struggling with political turmoil, once again.&nbsp;Prime Minister Imran Khan has apparently lost majority in the National Assembly, with his allies deserting him.
Most observers feel he will lose the no-confidence motion, which will be taken up for voting on April 3.&nbsp;In the 342-member House, the magic number is 172.
While Imran Khan needs at least 172 votes to stay in power, his opponents need 172 votes to remove him. In case the Opposition fails to secure 172 votes, Imran Khan would stay PM even if he fails to reach the majority mark too, as per the Lansing Institute. Abstentions etc might result in this.
&nbsp;
Another possibility is that a new government comes to power. A new candidate would need at least 172 votes in the National Assembly to be crowned PM, as per the Lansing Institute. The Opposition has reportedly announced that PML-N's Shehbaz Sharif would be the PM, and PPP's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would have a key role.
&nbsp;
In case the Opposition's Prime Ministerial candidate fails to secure majority, i.e. 172 votes, then the National Assembly would be dissolved, according to the Lansing Institute. This would lead to early elections. The new PM could also call early polls to legitimise their mandate.
&nbsp;
Imran Khan could also call early elections ahead of the vote. The current Assembly's tenure reportedly ends in August 2023, and the next elections are supposed to be held within 60 days, as per the Lansing Institute.

Pakistan’s Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Friday claimed that a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Imran Khan has been reported by the country's security agencies, ahead of Sunday's no-trust motion against the premier.
Khan’s security has been beefed up as per the government's decision after these reports, the Dawn newspaper quoted Chaudhry as saying.
His statement came a week after similar claims were made by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda who had said that a conspiracy was being hatched to assassinate Khan over his refusal to "sell the country".
Vawda had made the remarks on ARY News show over a letter Prime Minister Khan had brandished at the PTI's March 27 show of strength here, claiming that it contained "evidence" of a "foreign conspiracy" to topple his government.
Vawda said that there was a threat to Khan’s life.
He, however, did not reveal if the purported conspiracy to assassinate the premier was mentioned in the letter.
Vawda also said that Khan was told multiple times that bulletproof glass needed to be installed before his dais at the March 27 rally but he refused.
Information Minister Chaudhry’s claims also come a day after Khan, during his address to the nation, vowed to foil "an international conspiracy" hatched against his government by the Opposition leaders and their alleged handlers ahead of the no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.
In a live address to the nation, 69-year-old Khan discussed a 'threat letter' and termed it as part of a foreign conspiracy to remove him as he was not acceptable for following an independent foreign policy. He named the US as the country behind the threat letter in what appeared to be a slip of tongue.
Prime Minister Khan linked the letter with the no-confidence motion against him by the Opposition in the National Assembly. The National Assembly is scheduled to vote on the no-trust motion on Sunday.
Khan's address came at a critical juncture of his political career when he lost majority after defection from his PTI party. Two of his allied parties also withdrew their support and joined the ranks of the Opposition.
The US has asserted that it did not send any letter to Pakistan on the current political situation in the country as it sought to refute allegations of America's involvement in the no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan-led government.
Khan met President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on February 24, the day the Russian leader ordered a "special military operation" against Ukraine. Khan also became the first Pakistani premier to visit Russia in 23 years after former premier Nawaz Sharif travelled to Moscow in 1999.
