Pakistan's Supreme Court has banned former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding office for the rest of his life.
The ruling comes months ahead of expected general elections. The 67-year-old resigned in July after the Supreme Court disqualified him from holding office for his hidden income. His supporters have repeatedly denied allegations of corruption, suggesting he is the victim of a conspiracy driven by Pakistan's powerful military establishment.
