Pak PM Imran Khan and wife sentenced to 14-years in Corruption case ahead of elections

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to 14 years in a corruption case linked to gifts received during Khan's time as prime minister. This verdict, coming just a week before national elections, adds complexity to Khan's political journey.

The legal development adds drama to the ongoing election campaign. A spokesperson for Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), expressed disappointment, calling it "another sad day in our judicial system's history." The timing, just before elections, creates political tensions.

It's uncertain whether Khan's sentences will run back-to-back or at the same time. Salman Safdar, Khan's lawyer, confirmed both were sentenced, but Bibi, who's been in remand, is yet to be arrested.

This legal twist has personal implications for Khan and political consequences for PTI. The couple got married in 2018, months before Khan became prime minister.
