Independent candidates backed by Khan’s party have won 55 out of the 139 National Assembly results announced by the election commission so far following unusual delays, leading to allegations of vote rigging. The PML-N has bagged 43 seats while PPP has won 35.

A court determined that Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, and his wife Bushra Khan's 2018 marriage violated the law, and they were sentenced to seven years in prison and fined on Saturday, according to his party.

Speaking to the media outside the Adiala jail, Imran Khan’s lawyer, Barrister Gohar Khan, said that “shameless, scandalous and unethical allegations” have been made for political motives.

Rehan Zaib Khan, who was contesting from the Bajaur constituency for a seat in the National Assembly as an independent candidate following a recent court order that banned the PTI from contesting election, was shot dead while three of his supporters were injured when they were holding their poll campaign rally in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Siddiq Abad Phatak Bazar Main Chowk area.

Khan is accused of not disclosing information on gifts presented to Toshakhana as well as the proceeds from the illegal sale of some of the gifts.

The medical superintendent of the District Headquarters Hospital in Sibi, Dr Babar, confirmed that four people were killed and five others were injured. The victims were shifted to the civil hospital.

Pakistan’s Supreme Court on January 13 stripped the PTI of its iconic cricket ‘bat’ election symbol, a move after which those contesting in elections from the party will have to fight as independent candidates. The election commission of Pakistan has already rejected the nomination papers of Khan and several of his party colleagues.

The bench asked the petitioner's counsel if he intends to challenge the notification of the jail trial. The counsel expressed his willingness to challenge the notification of the jail trial and asked the bench to fix the case again.

The party has lost its election symbol of ‘bat’ and nomination papers of Khan and other prominent leaders have been rejected by the election commission.
