Oxford University on Wednesday dropped Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan from the chancellor’s race.
According to Geo News, a prominent UK law firm highlighted that Imran Khan was ineligible for Oxford’s Chancellorship, citing the university’s regulations that disqualified him from the race.
The university’s election for the chancellor will be held online.
Earlier in September, Imran Khan said if he were to be elected Chancellor of Oxford University, it would be an honour for Pakistan.
Speaking from Adiala Jail, Khan noted that his contributions would remain impactful regardless of the outcome.
“No one in the history of cricket in Pakistan has reached the level I have. I have undertaken the most charitable work in Pakistan, including the construction of two hospitals, and two universities, with a third university still under construction,” he remarked.
