Pakistan’s Election Commission said it is seeking a nonbailable arrest warrant for Imran Khan, the former prime minister and chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-e Insaf (PTI) party, citing a case linked to contempt of the commission, Geo News reported on July 24. Khan, a former cricket star and the country's main opposition leader, has faced a series of legal cases since being ousted from office last year. He was arrested in May in connection with a corruption case, sparking mass protests by his supporters before he was released on bail. In recent weeks, some former supporters have left his party to start another grouping.
