PTI founder Imran Khan is currently serving his sentence in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, but his eyes are on the very important post of Chancellor of Oxford University. In Pakistan, a virtual war is going on between pro-PTI and PML-N users on social media. Now the news is circulating that Imran Khan’s name is not included in the list of candidates for Chancellor.
On social media website ‘X’, pro-NIL users are claiming that Imran Khan’s name has been removed from the list of candidates for Chancellor of Oxford University. According to Fact Check, there is no truth to these claims made on social media.
X user Khalid Mazari’s profile and his tweet suggest that he is a supporter of PML-N, tweeted that ‘Oxford University has released the list of confirmed candidates contesting the chancellor election, Imran Niazi’s name is not included’. .
The user does not include any documentation or references in support of his claim. The said tweet was liked by 2 thousand people while it was re-shared 442 times.

The report mentions that former Conservative leader William Hague and jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan are among the 30 candidates on the list. 250,000 university staff and alumni will vote in next month’s election to elect the chancellor.
