The sentencing in what is called as the cypher case comes less than two weeks before the general elections. Khan, who is already serving a three-year jail term in a corruption case, has been barred from standing in the elections on February 8.

Immediately after his removal as prime minister in April 2022, Khan said that the United States had a hand in his removal. Washington and the Pakistani military have denied his accusations. Khan later toned down his rhetoric against the US.

Khan, 71, was convicted in August 2023 by a trial court for not declaring the assets he made from selling gifts he received from foreign governments and leaders during his premiership from 2018 to 2022. This was called the Toshakhana case.
