Pakistan's electoral body has rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan's nomination to contest the February 2024 national elections in two constituencies, officials and his party's media team said on December 30. The 71-year-old former cricket star has been embroiled in a tangle of political and legal battles since he was ousted as prime minister in April 2022. In a list of rejected candidates from Lahore, the Election Commission of Pakistan said Khan's nomination was rejected because he was not a registered voter of the constituency and because he is "convicted by the court of law and has been disqualified."
