TL;DR Summary

A Pakistan court has sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan to 10 years in jail for leaking state secrets, just days before the national election. His party plans to challenge the verdict, calling it an attempt to influence the polls. This is the second conviction for Khan in recent months, ensuring he remains in jail and out of the public spotlight ahead of the parliamentary vote. Khan's legal team believes the case will be quashed in appeal, and the conviction is seen as an attempt to weaken support for him. The sidelining of Khan and his party has raised doubts over the credibility of the upcoming elections.
