Pakistan court rules Imran Khan no-confidence vote block is illegal
In the days leading up to the vote, Mr Khan claimed without evidence that the political opposition was in a conspiracy with the US to remove him because of his friendly relations with Russia and China. Washington has strongly denied his claim.But parliament's deputy speaker Qasim Suri - who also comes from Mr Khan's political party- blocked the vote on grounds of this "foreign interference", effectively foiling any attempt to oust Mr Khan from power.
While he still has many supporters, he has lost some popular favour amid a rise in living costs, ballooning foreign debt and other scandals.
