Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has applied to become Chancellor of Oxford

Imran Khan has given instructions that he wants to submit his nomination papers and the examination of nomination papers will now take place, Sayed Zulfikar Bukhari, London-based spokesman for Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, told AFP.

“It's a ceremonial position but one of great prestige and importance, and Imran Khan, being one of the most important and popular names to come out of Oxford, it would be great to see him as chancellor,” he said.

Conservative Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, announced in February that he was resigning as chancellor of Oxford.

The list of candidates for the 10-year term will not be made public until October, according to the university's website, with voting taking place at the end of the month.

Khan graduated from Oxford in 1975 after studying philosophy, politics and economics.

He led a playboy lifestyle during his career as one of Pakistan's greatest cricketers, regularly gracing the pages of British gossip magazines.

Married three times, notably to British socialite and filmmaker Jemima Goldsmith, he later turned to philanthropy and politics.

He faced backlash from women's rights groups while prime minister for linking Pakistan's high rates of sexual violence to the clothes women wear.

Khan was ousted in 2022 and subsequently launched a comeback campaign.

If he becomes chancellor, he will be the first of Asian origin. It will not only be something for Pakistan, but it will be a great achievement for the whole of Asia and the rest of the world, Bukhari said.

Other candidates and Oxford alumni include former Foreign Secretary William Hague and former European Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson, according to British media.
