Pakistani court overturns Imran Khan's corruption conviction, clearing path for his political return

  • Imran Khan's three-year prison sentence for corruption was suspended by a Pakistani appeals court, allowing him to contest upcoming elections.
  • Khan still faces multiple charges, so it remains unclear if he will be released from custody despite being granted bail.
  • The upcoming parliamentary vote may be delayed for three to four months to redraw constituencies, causing political turmoil.
  • Khan claims his removal from office was orchestrated by the U.S., Shehbaz Sharif, and the Pakistani military, which they deny.
  • The court decision allows Khan to lead his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party again and potentially run for office if cleared of other charges.
