Imran Khan's Incarceration Sparks Political Turmoil in Pakistan's Election

Imran Khan, the former Pakistani prime minister, has left the country divided ahead of the upcoming election after being jailed and barred from standing due to criminal convictions he claims are politically motivated. Khan's supporters remain loyal despite his downfall, while his ouster has paved the way for rival Nawaz Sharif to potentially become prime minister for a record fourth term, leading to deep political divisions and rifts among families and friends in Pakistan. The military's influence and alleged crackdown on dissenting voices have further exacerbated the political tensions in the country.
