Imran Khan Excluded From Oxford Chancellor Race Amid Legal Scrutiny

The former Pakistani Prime Minister's application was rejected, prompting his legal team to seek clarification from the university.

Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was not included in the University of Oxford's list of 38 candidates for the chancellor position.
Khan's legal team is questioning the decision, suggesting his disqualification might be related to his criminal convictions in Pakistan.
The role of chancellor is largely ceremonial, with responsibilities including presiding over key ceremonies and chairing the committee to elect the vice-chancellor.
The list of candidates includes prominent figures like former Conservative leader Lord William Hague and Labour's Lord Peter Mandelson.
Oxford's election process involves online voting by alumni and staff, with the first round of voting set to begin on October 28.
