Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been barred from politics for five years.

He was sentenced in a corruption case over the weekend, and was disqualified from politics due to his conviction.

Under Pakistani law, a convicted person cannot run for any public office for a period defined by the country’s Election Commission.

Khan, who has denied any wrongdoing, was sentenced to three years imprisonment for mis-declaration of assets he received from foreign countries when he was prime minister from 2018 to 2022.
