Khan is the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and has been incarcerated since August 2023.
The advocacy group, Partiet Sentrum, has nominated Khan for this honor. "We are pleased to announce on behalf of Partiet Sentrum that in alliance with somebody with the right to nominate, we have nominated Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, to the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with human rights and democracy in Pakistan," the group wrote on X.
This is not the first time Imran Khan has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize; he was first nominated in 2019.
In January this year, Khan was sentenced to 14 years in prison in a case regarding corruption. It was the fourth major case in which Khan was convicted; the three earlier cases about selling state gifts, unlawful marriage, and leaking state secrets were suspended by the courts in Pakistan.
Imran Khan denies all charges against him, maintaining that they are all politically motivated.
