Ex-PM Imran Khan disqualified
PAKISTAN’S elections commission has disqualified former prime minister Imran Khan on charges of concealing assets, a move likely to deepen lingering political turmoil in the country.
Mr Khan’s spokesman, Fawad Chaudhry, told reporters that the Election Commission of Pakistan announced the much-awaited verdict in the capital, Islamabad.
Mr Chaudhry condemned the move.
According to legal experts, Mr Khan will lose his seat in the National Assembly under the verdict of the Election Commission.
