Oxford University Blocks Imran Khan From Chancellor Election

Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and an alumnus of the University of Oxford, has been officially disqualified from the race to become the university’s next Chancellor. The race, which features prominent candidates including Lord Hague and Lord Mandelson, has generated significant interest. However, Khan's disqualification has raised questions about the eligibility criteria.

According to reports, legal assessments concluded that Imran Khan did not meet the necessary requirements to run for the prestigious position. His exclusion has sparked reactions from his supporters, particularly in Pakistan, where many were hopeful that his candidacy would bring international recognition and honor. Khan has yet to comment on his disqualification, but the university's decision is final, with 38 other candidates remaining in the race.

The position of Chancellor at Oxford is largely ceremonial but highly respected. With Indian-origin candidates also in the running, this election has drawn global attention.
