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.
