In another blow to the incarcerated PTI supreme leader ahead of the upcoming general elections, the IHC had earlier today dismissed his plea seeking suspension of the trial court’s verdict in the Toshakhana case.
As a result of the IHC’s ruling, Imran, the only prime minister to be voted out from office in Pakistain’s more than seven-decade-long history, remains disqualified from contesting elections.
The high court’s ruling came a day before the deadline to submit nomination papers for elections for provincial and national assemblies that are scheduled for February 8, 2024.
