Imran Khan to run for Oxford University chancellor seat

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan is going to run for chancellor of Oxford University while being imprisoned in Adiala Jail, The Telegraph reported.

The chancellor’s seat became vacant after the resignation of Lord Patten, who held the coveted post for 21 years.

Khan will enter an online ballot for the position from his prison cell in Pakistan. However, his victory is unlikely, according to The Telegraph.

Historically, this is the first time the elections for the chancellor will be held online, as previously, the traditional procedure was adopted in which graduates were required to attend the process in full academic dress.

“Imran Khan will contest for the chancellor of Oxford University as there is a public demand that he should contest,” Zulfi Bukhari told The Telegraph.
