"Welcome back to old Pakistan," said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, leader of the opposition Pakistan People's party. After losing the support of a coalition ally and some of his own party's lawmakers, Khan had sought to avoid a no-confidence motion by dissolving parliament. The supreme court ruled the move unconstitutional and ordered the parliament to debate the motion, paving the way for Khan to become the first Pakistan prime minister to be removed by a no-confidence vote. Underscoring Pakistan's stark political divisions, Sharif gave his victory speech to a nearly half-empty chamber. Khan's 168 allies in the 342-seat National Assembly had walked out in protest, leaving the remaining 174 to vote Sharif into office. Sharif will have to contend with intense stress on Pakistan's economy. With global commodity prices soaring, Pakistanis have endured months of double-digit inflation. "Our economy faces extreme difficulties. It is a very grave situation but it must and it will change for the better," Sharif told parliament. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.oust [aʊst] v. ________________________ 2.cricketer [ˈkrɪkɪtə] n. ________________________ 3.ally [ˈælaɪ] n. ________________________ 4.motion [ˈməʊʃn] n. ____________
