Pakistan’s National Assembly on Thursday (27) adopted a resolution expressing “full confidence” in prime minister Shehbaz Sharif, amidst an increasing confrontation between the government and the judiciary.

Foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party, tabled a resolution, stating that the National Assembly of Pakistan “reposes its full confidence in the leadership of” Sharif who took over in April last year following the ouster of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Imran Khan.

The resolution was supported by 180 members of the National Assembly.

The development comes days after the National Assembly rejected a money bill tabled by the government for providing funds to the Election Commission of Pakistan for holding polls in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.
