He was previously sentenced to three years in a corruption case. While his jail term was suspended as he challenged the corruption conviction, it had already ruled him out of the country&#8217;s general elections next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being ruled out of the election, Khan&#8217;s legal team was hoping to get him released from jail, where he has been since August last year away from the public eye.<br>The latest conviction means that is unlikely even as the charges are contested in a higher court.<br>Khan has been fighting dozens of cases since he was ousted from power in a parliamentary vote of no confidence in 2022.<br>Khan says the cable was proof of a conspiracy by the Pakistani military and U.S. government to topple his government in 2022 after he visited Moscow just before Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine.
