Imran Khan Runs for Oxford University Chancellor from Prison

- Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan is running for chancellor of Oxford University while in prison, confirmed by his aide Zulfikar Bukhari.
- Khan is currently in Adiala Jail facing numerous legal challenges, mostly related to corruption, which his supporters claim are politically motivated.
- Despite being barred from the national election, Khan's party candidates won most seats independently but not enough to form a government.
- Khan, an Oxford alumnus, previously served as chancellor of the University of Bradford and led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 cricket World Cup.
- He is running against Elish Angiolini and Margaret Casely-Hayford, with voting expected on 28 October.
