Prime Minister Imran Khan called a session of the National Assembly for a vote of confidence on Saturday after losing a key seat in the Senate election. Before the vote, a number of celebrities threw their weight behind the premier and said he is their true leader.

A vote of confidence is meant to show that the prime minister has the support of parliament. He needed 172 votes to win the confidence vote and got 176.

This included cricketers, celebrities and designers. The actual vote of confidence was done by MNAs, not the general public, but many people took to Twitter to show their support.
