Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the Cabinet has been dissolved.
Prime Minister Khan, who had effectively lost majority in the 342-member National Assembly, earlier made a brief address to the nation after a stormy parliament session was adjourned by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri.
Khan congratulated the nation for the no-trust motion being dismissed, saying the deputy speaker had "rejected the attempt of changing the regime [and] the foreign conspiracy".
"The nation should prepare for the new elections," he said, adding that the no-confidence was actually a "foreign agenda".
Khan said that he has advised President Alvi to dissolve the National Assembly and call for fresh elections.
