Khan Formally Asks IMF to Link Future Lending to Audit of Pakistan’s Disputed Vote

Supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party show portraits of Khan during an oath-taking ceremony of newly elected members at the provincial legislature of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly in Peshawar on Feb. 28, 2024.

The political party of Pakistan’s jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote Wednesday to the International Monetary Fund, asking that lending to the cash-strapped country be tied to an independent audit of the disputed Feb. 8 elections.
