Imran Khan no longer eligible to run for Oxford Chancellor election

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s name has been dropped out of the race for Oxford Chancellorship, local media reported on Wednesday.

Khan, whose name has been proposed for Oxford Chancellorship, is no longer eligible to contest the election, Geo News reported citing the university’s regulations that disqualified him from the race.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder had previously said it would be an honour for the country if he were to be elected Chancellor of Oxford University.

Speaking from Adiala Jail, Khan noted that his contributions would remain impactful regardless of the outcome.

“No one in the history of cricket in Pakistan has reached the level I have. I have undertaken the most charitable work in Pakistan, including the construction of two hospitals, and two universities, with a third university still under construction,” he remarked.

Khan’s PTI has been on and off the streets to protest the former premier’s incarceration.

Protests had taken place in Khan’s hometown of Mianwali, Faisalabad, Bahawalpur, Islamabad, and Lahore in the past several weeks.
