ISLAMABAD – The Pakistani Supreme Court (SC) June 19 ruled that an April 26 conviction for contempt of court disqualified Yousuf Raza Gilani from serving as prime minister or in parliament, media reported.

The prime minister’s post has been vacant since Gilani’s conviction, the SC ruled, asking President Asif Ali Zardari to take steps to elect a new prime minister, media added.
