Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan banned from political office for 5 years

Pakistan’s Election Commission announced on Friday that the former Prime Minister Imran Khan will be banned from holding political office for the next five years. The commission says Khan illegally accepted and sold off gifts from foreign dignitaries. In response to the ruling, a spokesperson for Khan called for supporters to protest and “topple this parliament.” The decision comes months after a constitutional crisis caused by Khan that ultimately ended with his ouster from office.
