Imran Khan

Khan was disqualified after an election panel found he unlawfully sold state gifts and concealed assets as premier, officials said.

Bajwa eventually removed Hameed, which caused a rift between Khan and Bajwa that eventually led to the prime minister's ouster. Elsewhere, hundreds of Khan supporters blocked a key road in the northwestern city of Peshawar, disrupting traffic. A senior leader in Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Fawad Chaudhry, condemned the decision and urged Khan's supporters to rally in the streets. Earlier Friday, Balkh Ser Khosa, a prominent lawyer, said the disqualification happened because Khan unlawfully sold state gifts given to him by other countries when he was in power. Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan, who is not related to the former premier, hailed the decision and said that Imran Khan would now be tried in a court of law. Officials and legal experts said Friday's decision meant Khan would automatically lose his seat in the National Assembly.

Pakistan's election commission has disqualified ex-PM Imran Khan from holding public office in a case the former cricketer has described as politically ...

After a series of defections, he lost his majority in parliament. Since then, he has been a vocal critic of the government and the country's army. As a result of the disqualification, he "ceases to be a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan and his seat has become vacant accordingly", the ruling adds.

The Election Commission said Khan was disqualified under Article 63(1)(p) of Pakistan's Constitution, and legal experts said the ruling meant that he would ...

He added, “The Election Commission of Pakistan has now referred his case for criminal proceedings against him in an appropriate court of law.” In a pre-recorded message posted on social media, Khan urged the people to “come out” for their rights. In February 2018, the apex court had ruled that an individual disqualified under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution cannot serve as the head of a political party. “The office is directed to initiate legal proceedings and to take follow-up action under...the Elections Act, 2017,” the ruling said. The gifts included watches given by a royal family and officials alleged that Khan’s aides sold them in Dubai. It followed his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s victory in by-elections on Sunday, with Khan himself winning in six parliamentary seats, and impressive wins in bypolls in the politically crucial Punjab province in July.

Dawn newspaper in a report about Mr. Khan already tendered his resignation as a lawmaker in April but it was not accepted.

Imran Khan, who came to power in 2018, received expensive gifts from rich Arab rulers during official visits, which were deposited in the Toshakhana.

However, Khan had defended his actions by claiming that he had paid 50 percent of the value of the gifts. “Individuals come and go but the office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan is permanent. He has been accused of retaining gifts, received by the Office of the Prime Minister from other countries, either for free or at throwaway prices. Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been mired in controversies ever since he was selected to the highest office in Pakistan. During the hearing, Khan informed the ECP that the sale of the gifts he obtained from the state treasury after paying Rs 21.56 million garnered around Rs 58 million. Imran Khan was accused of misleading officials about the gifts he received from foreign when he was in office. Current Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif and his party members including Marriyum Aurangzeb, and Ahsan Iqbal had further alleged that Khan had sold a watch, necklace, gold plated AK47 and a jeep and had failed to show the sales in the income tax returns. The duo obtained 52 of the items worth PKR 800200 without ‘paying a single penny’. Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan for gross corrupt practices.

It further emphasized the need of completing all essential security procedures, particularly inside the ECP Secretariat building.

What will be the fate of other seats?" Khan already tendered his resignation as a lawmaker in April but it was not accepted. Apparently, it sounds fine that Khan took the constitutional path, which is circuitous, and made take many weeks if not months before the legal process is completed. Advocate Faisal Hussain, a senior member of PTI’s legal team, told Dawn that the party planned to file a petition before the IHC and won’t challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court since the ECP was not the relevant forum to order Khan’s disqualification. Since there is an alternate remedy available, and the appropriate forum for filing of the petition against the ECP’s final verdict is the Supreme Court, therefore, this might be the first objection levelled on the plea. However, there is confusion about whether the five-year disqualification would apply only to the five years term of the current assembly, or whether the disqualification period would start from the date of the verdict by the ECP.

In a widely anticipated ruling, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has disqualified former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Imran could decide he will go all in and leverage all his support to bring a ‘Long March’ to Islamabad and create a situation forcing the state and government to agree to an early election. If he does choose this path, the state of Pakistan will have three options: It can succumb to Imran’s pressure tactics and then risk state failure; it can use force to crush the Long March and then use the might of the state to not just throw Imran in prison but also dismantle his party; and, if all else fails, there is always the political nuclear option—a military takeover followed by a technocratic government to fix Pakistan. This has been proven by the massive victories he has registered in the bye-elections in July and repeated last week when he won six of the seven seats he contested. For reasons of state survival, Imran will have to stay out in the cold for some time. Where the ECP ruling really impacts Imran Khan is in the domain of power politics. Meanwhile, other even more damaging cases—including the [foreign funding case](https://www.dawn.com/news/1702834) in which the ECP has already found Imran’s Tehrik-e-Insaf party guilty of receiving prohibited funding and diverting, even misusing, these funds—are being litigated in the courts and could deal a body blow to not only Imran but also the erstwhile ruling party. nor accounting for the sale proceeds” in relation to gifts he received as Prime Minister and acquired for his personal use, and later sold for profit. If he chooses the first option, then he will be able to continue doing his politics even as he goes through the motions of legal processes to become eligible to hold office again. Imran does have the option of appealing the ECP ruling in the High Court, which could grant a stay. Politically, as far as perception and narrative goes, Imran’s detractors will see the ECP verdict as seriously denting his entire campaign of presenting himself as lily white and pure, while painting his political opponents as venal and corrupt; Imran’s cult will, however, ignore the damning documentary evidence that led to his disqualification. The ECP ruling has directed legal proceedings in a court of law and follow-up action under section 190(2) of the [Election Act 2017](https://www.ecp.gov.pk/Documents/laws2017/Election%20Act%202017.pdf). The latter was shown the red card on the very flimsy grounds of not declaring a salary that he never received, while Imran has been shown the door after irrefutable evidence of misdeclaration of his assets and liabilities.

He has filed an appeal in the Islamabad High Court through his counsel Barrister Ali Zafar.

Khan already tendered his resignation as a lawmaker in April but it was not accepted. The PTI legal team's basic objection to the ECP's verdict is that in their opinion it was issued in haste and the commission did not wait for the ailing member of the bench to return. The filing of the appeal put Khan on a path to go through a gruelling legal battle to regain his political turf in the wake of his disqualification.
