Imran Khan's Plea to Justice: Allegations of Electoral Rigging

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who remains behind bars, has reached out to the Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, alleging partiality and vote tampering in the 2024 elections, according to a media report on Thursday.

Khan's letter, facilitated by PTI lawmaker Latif Khosa, urges the Islamabad High Court to address pending petitions. He criticized the actions of Chief Justice Sarfaraz Dogar, calling his choices a result of the 26th Amendment and accusing him of aiding unjust campaigns against Khan and his supporters.

Khan, jailed for over two years with multiple charges, accompanied by his wife Bushra Bibi, highlighted election irregularities and claimed PTI's 2023 victory was undermined. Allegations suggest attempts to conceal the issues outlined in the Commonwealth Observer Group's unreleased report.
