The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday pronounced former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan guilty in the Toshakhana reference for “not sharing details” of gifts and proceeds from their alleged sale. The four-member bench headed by chief election commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja unanimously disqualified Khan for five years as the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a member of the national assembly.

The charges have been put under Article 63(i)(iii) for submitting a false statement in the Toshakhana reference.
