Khan, the former cricketer turned pious Islamist politician, has been fighting for his political life for weeks after losing his parliamentary majority. On Thursday he was dealt a blow after Pakistan’s supreme court found he had broken the law by dissolving parliament in an attempt to prevent a no-confidence vote he was expected to lose from going ahead last week.

On the court’s instructions, the vote finally took place late on Saturday night, though not before Khan’s party spent 14 tumultuous hours trying to delay and block it in the national assembly
