Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Thursday he will continue to fight as he faces a vote to oust him, and will address the nation on Friday.

The court earlier on Thursday overturned a move by Khan to block a parliamentary vote seeking to oust him. He will now have to face the vote on Saturday.

"I have always & will continue to fight for Pak till the last ball," he said on Twitter after losing the court case, adding he had called a meeting of his cabinet on Friday.
