Imran Khan Seeks Oxford Chancellor Role from Jail

The former Pakistani prime minister aims to replace Chris Patten in the largely ceremonial but prestigious position.

  • Khan, an Oxford alumnus, has been incarcerated for over a year on charges he claims are politically motivated.
  • His application was submitted by his adviser, with the university set to announce candidates in October.
  • Khan previously served as chancellor of the University of Bradford from 2005 to 2014.
  • If elected, Khan would be the first chancellor of Asian descent at Oxford.
  • Voting will be conducted online by Oxford graduates and academic staff at the end of October.
