Description
Pakistani cricketing legend turned world leader Imran Khan is wildly popular in his constituency and ancestral homeland of Mianwali, but the political posters that line the streets do not bare his face and flags do not fly his colours.
A relentless crackdown widely attributed to Pakistan's powerful military has seen him and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party almost erased from the election campaign ahead of the vote. Currently in jail facing dozens of legal challenges, Khan is barred from contesting elections on February 8 because of a graft conviction -- cases he claims are politically motivated.
