ISLAMABAD: In a recent development, the Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and the founder of Pakistan’s one of the most influential political parties, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

This announcement was made by the Pakistan World Alliance (PWA) members who belong to the Norwegian Political Party “Partiet Sentrum’.

It is important to note here that this is not the first time that Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Earlier in 2019, PTI’s founder was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote peace in the Asian region, particularly between Pakistan and India.

A resolution was submitted in the Pakistan parliament to endorse his nomination, citing his decision to release Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan as a de-escalation measure.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations each year and selects the winner through an eight-month screening and decision-making process.
