Pakistan's Political Turmoil: Parliament Dissolved, What's Next?

TL;DR
Pakistan has dissolved its parliament, paving the way for a general election amidst political turmoil and an ongoing economic crisis. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was convicted of corruption and jailed, will be unable to participate. The outgoing government has three days to appoint a new interim prime minister and 90 days to hold the elections, but there are concerns that the elections may be delayed. The instability in Pakistan has raised concerns for the United States, and experts believe that Khan's ouster and his popularity were largely influenced by the military, with whom he had a falling out.
