The economy was doing fine 6% growth of GDP. He was a bit of an outsider so he was not acceptable to the power corridors be it the military, courts or politicians in Pakistan so they just needed little nudge from outside to topple his government. The previous election in 2018 was engineered as well once they realised that his party will get absolute majority so suddenly the election reporting system went down and his party seats stop increasing and he was hobbled with a simple majority government. The US keeps harping about democracy but if a democratic elected party wins that does not have US world view they try to do all they can to topple it.
