Pakistan poll body rejects Imran Khan's nomination

Pakistan's election body, the Election Commission of Pakistan, has rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan's nomination to contest the 2024 national elections in two constituencies. Khan, who has been embroiled in political and legal battles since his ousting as prime minister in April 2022, filed nomination papers despite being disqualified due to a corruption conviction. The commission cited his lack of voter registration and disqualification as reasons for rejection. Khan claims he is being targeted by the military, but they deny this.
