Pakistan's president imposes emergency rule in the province governed by Imran Khan's party
Pakistan's president imposed an emergency in a province ruled by the party of ex-prime minister Imran Khan, ending its provincial government, Reuters reported. A governor will lead the administration, a law minister said (FinancialJuice), and The Straits Times reported that the provincial government was suspended.
Federal rule over a province run by the opposition raises the stakes in Pakistan's political contest.
No direct effect on New Zealand, but political instability in Pakistan can affect regional security and markets.
Two outlets agree on the emergency; the details of what powers the governor holds were not in the reports DailyDrop saw.
