"Imran Khan's Candidacy Rejected for Pakistan's 2024 Parliamentary Elections Amidst Political Turmoil"

Pakistan's Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan's nomination for the 2024 parliamentary elections due to his conviction in a corruption case and subsequent five-year ban from politics. Khan, who is currently serving a prison sentence, has been barred alongside other former members of his cabinet, while his party, PTI, alleges widespread bias as 90 percent of its candidates' nominations have been rejected. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's nominations have been accepted, although he still faces a life ban on holding public office. Khan accuses the military and the US of conspiring against him, claims both have denied.
