Imran Khan To Contest Elections From 3 Constituencies, Says His Party

On August 5, the 71-year-old former cricketer-turned politician was convicted by a trial court in Islamabad in the Toshakahana corruption case filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan will contest the upcoming general elections from at least three constituencies, his party announced on Wednesday.

On August 5, the 71-year-old former cricketer-turned politician was convicted by a trial court in Islamabad in the Toshakahana corruption case filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

The verdict meant he was disqualified from contesting elections for five years. However, days later the Islamabad High Court suspended his three-year sentence but he still remains in jail in other cases.
