Imran Khan and his Tehreek-e-Insaf party are prohibited from running in the current elections. Many Pakistanis, especially young people, are emphasizing their vote for his followers in the hope of implementing the goals he calls for.
Khan has been in prison since last August and was sentenced to three sentences last week. He was imprisoned for the first 10 years, the second for 14 years, and the third for 7 years, preventing him from running and banning his party, the PTI.
