Pakistan election regulator disqualifies three lawmakers from Imran Khan’s party after convictions

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s election regulator this week disqualified three lawmakers of former prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party following their anti-terror convictions earlier this month in the May 9 case. A Pakistani court in the eastern city of Sargodha last Tuesday convicted prominent members of the opposition PTI. These included Ahmed Khan Bachar, the opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly, along with federal lawmakers Ahmed Chattha and Bilal Ejaz, who were handed 10-year imprisonment sentences.
