Adedokun Waliyu 
The former Pakistan prime minister, has been shot and wounded in his left leg in a suspected assassination attack.
Khan was attacked on Thursday while leading a protest march in Islamabad, the country’s capital city, to demand for snap elections.
The ex-PM was rushed away from the scene while his camp said he survived the assassination attempt.
Khan, the 22nd Pakistani prime minister, was ousted from office in April 2022.
His removal came in the wake of a no-confidence vote in the country’s parliament.
Khan had lost his political majority, with the opposition parties moving against him.
The embattled prime minister had alleged that the plot to remove him was backed by the United States, describing it as “interference in domestic politics”.
In recent months, he has been giving speeches calling for snap elections in the country.
