A British member of Parliament resigned on Thursday in the wake of his conviction for sexually assaulting a boy, triggering a potentially challenging by-election.
Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, the MP for Wakefield, a city in West Yorkshire, Northern England, said he’s appealing the verdict, and it would be “intolerable” for his constituents to “go years without an MP” after they had “already been without visible parliamentary representation for a year.”
