ISLAMABAD -- Pakistani leader Imran Khan on Sunday lost a no-confidence vote he had nearly avoided by blaming a U.S. conspiracy, opening the door for a change of government in the nuclear-armed nation of 220 million.
Of the 342-seat assembly, 174 members sided against the hitherto prime minister, surpassing the needed 172 votes. Khan, 69, became the first prime minister of Pakistan to be voted out of office.
