ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday he would contest the upcoming general elections from three constituencies.
Khan is currently serving a three-year jail sentence in a corruption case involving earnings from the sale of state gifts, due to which he is effectively disqualified from running for public office for five years as convicts under Pakistani law cannot contest elections. Pakistan is scheduled to hold general elections on Feb. 8.
