Imran Khan

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights urged Pakistani authorities to ensure a fully free and fair voting process.

Despite Imran Khan's immense popularity among the masses, the future of his party appears uncertain at this point.

The conviction of the popular former prime minister -- the third since 2022 -- comes a week ahead of parliamentary elections.

Whether the delay in elections, and the tarnished delimitation process, abets any party in the February polls remains to be seen.

“Pakistan is facing a polycrisis and it is the convergence of political, economic, social, and security crises that makes the current situation so volatile.”

"One can't rule out anything in Pakistani politics, which are nothing if not unpredictable."

The army seems to have given a green signal to Nawaz Sharif to become the face of forthcoming general elections in Pakistan.

The case relates to Khan's waving of a confidential diplomatic letter at a rally after his ouster in a no-confidence vote in parliament in 2022.

The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan chief may be the country's second most popular leader, but his party will likely get just 4 percent of votes, according to a Gallup Pakistan survey.

Khan's lawyers say the closed trial is a gambit to ensure a quick conviction and sentencing of the former premier ahead of parliamentary elections.

The announcement puts to rest speculation that the election, which was due to be held in November, would be indefinitely postponed.
