Oxford University has disqualified former prime minister Imran Khan from the race to become its next chancellor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khan, who was reportedly running for the role from his prison cell in Adiala Jail, failed to make the official list of candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former cricket star and founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had attempted to enter the contest despite serving a 10-year prison sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The position of chancellor became vacant following the resignation of 80-year-old Lord Patten, the former governor of Hong Kong and long-serving Conservative Party chairman, who held the role for 21 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Oxford University released the official list of 38 candidates, with Khan\u2019s absence notably drawing attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting for the election of chancellor of Oxford University will be held on October 28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Khan was charged with attempted murder related to the death of a police officer during violent protests by his supporters on October 8, 2023. He has been behind bars since 2023 and is accused of inciting violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late September, a fresh petition was submitted to Oxford University urging the institution to bar Imran Khan from contesting the chancellor’s election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
