Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, who is currently in jail, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He has been nominated for his efforts in human rights and democracy. This information was confirmed by the Pakistan World Alliance and the Norwegian political party, Center. This is the second time Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, with his first nomination in early 2019 for his efforts in promoting peace in South Asia.

Imran Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been in jail since August 2023. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison on charges of abuse of power and corruption. In April 2022, he was removed from power following a no-confidence motion against him. Despite his imprisonment, his nomination for the prestigious Nobel Prize highlights his influence in global politics.

Every year, the Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The selection process then takes about eight months to determine the final winner. Imran Khan’s nomination for the award is seen as significant, given his role in Pakistani politics and his past efforts to foster peace in the region.
